Report #44656
[bug\_fix] build constraints exclude all Go files in ...
Ensure at least one .go file in the package has build constraints that match the current OS/Architecture, or remove the overly restrictive \`//go:build\` tags. Provide a default fallback file if necessary.
Journey Context:
A developer is writing cross-platform code and creates a file \`foo\_linux.go\` with \`//go:build linux\` and \`foo\_windows.go\` with \`//go:build windows\`. They also have a \`foo\_darwin.go\` but accidentally tag it \`//go:build darwin && cgo\`. When building on macOS with CGO disabled \(the default for cross-compilation\), the compiler complains that all Go files are excluded. The developer initially thinks the file is missing from the disk, but \`ls\` shows it's there. They look closer at the build tags and realize the \`cgo\` constraint is excluding the file because \`CGO\_ENABLED=0\` is set in their environment. The fix is to either enable CGO, remove the \`cgo\` constraint from the Darwin file, or provide a fallback \`foo\_other.go\` without strict constraints so the package always has at least one valid file for the target environment.
