This patch by Than McIntosh changes the Go frontend, in Func_expression::do_get_backend, when creating the backend representation for a closure, to create a backend type conversion to account for potential differences between the closure struct type (where the number of fields is dependent on the number of values referenced in the closure) and the generic function descriptor type (struct with single function pointer field). Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Committed to mainline.
