+# Go (cgo) bindings — native (same-process) example
+
+Generated cgo bindings for the timer library. The Go wrapper links the library
+directly and calls the **native** C ABI, marshalling each `{.ffi.}` type from an
+idiomatic Go struct into its flat C-POD form per call.
+
+## Files
+
+| File | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `my_timer.go` | Generated cgo package. One Go struct per `{.ffi.}` type plus a `toC()` marshaller; one method per `{.ffi.}` proc. |
+| `my_timer.h` | Native C header (emitted alongside the `.go` so cgo's `#include` resolves locally). |
+| `go.mod` | Makes the package an importable module. |
+| `example/` | A runnable `main.go` that exercises the struct-param methods. |
+
+Regenerate with `nimble genbindings_go` (from the repo root); the files here are
+overwritten each time and `gofmt`-finalized.
+
+## Mapping
+
+| Nim (`{.ffi.}`) | Go |
+|-----------------|-----|
+| `string` | `string` |
+| `int` / `int64` … | `int64` … |
+| `bool` | `bool` |
+| `seq[T]` | `[]T` |
+| `Option[T]` / `Maybe[T]` | `*T` (nil = none) |
+| nested `{.ffi.}` struct | nested Go struct |
+
+Each call deep-copies its arguments across the FFI thread, so the Go-side C
+allocations are freed (via `defer`) as soon as the call returns. String-returning
+methods give back a Go `string`; struct-returning methods deliver their CBOR
+encoding (decode it with a Go CBOR library if needed).
+
+## Build & run
+
+```sh
+cd examples/timer/go_bindings
+make run
+```
+
+Expected output:
+
+```
+created timer
+version: nim-timer v0.1.0
+echo: ok (struct param round-tripped)
+complex: ok (seq/option graph deep-copied)
+schedule: ok (three struct params in one call)
+done
+```
+
+`Echo`, `Complex` and `Schedule` take `{.ffi.}` structs, slices and optionals
+directly — previously these procs were skipped by the Go generator.
+
+For the cross-process / cross-machine path (CBOR over a socket), see
+[`../ipc`](../ipc); a Go client could speak the same wire protocol using any Go
+CBOR library.

+// Native (same-process) Go example for the timer library.

+// structs, sequences and optionals (Echo, Complex, Schedule) are now callable
+// directly with idiomatic Go types. String-returning calls (Version) come back
