[go-nuts] golang c++ strings problem

I'm trying to use swig to interface between go and a c++ package. I'm
having a problem using strings. Swig doesn't seem to be generating proper
interface code. Here's my test case:

*st.i

*%module st
%{
#include <string>
extern void pinput(const std::string& pstring);
%}
%include <std_string.i>
#include <string>
void pinput(const std::string& pstring);
*
st.cxx

*#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

void pinput(const std::string& pstring) {
   std::cout<<pstring;
}
*
stmain.go

*package main
import (
        "st"
)

func main() {
      st.Pinput("This is a test.")
}
*
Makefile

*SWIG=/usr/bin/swig

SWIGOBJS = st_gc.c st_wrap.cxx st.go

all: st.so st.a

$(SWIGOBJS): st.i
     $(SWIG) -go -c++ -intgosize 64 st.i

st.o: st.cxx
     g++ -c -fpic -g -o st.o st.cxx

st_wrap.o: st_wrap.cxx
     g++ -c -fpic -g -o st_wrap.o st_wrap.cxx

st.so: st_wrap.o st.o
     g++ -shared st_wrap.o st.o -o st.so

st_gc.6: st_gc.c
     go tool 6c -I `go env GOROOT`/pkg/`go env GOOS`_`go env GOARCH` st_gc.c

st.6: st.go
     go tool 6g st.go

st.a: st.6 st_gc.6
     go tool pack grc st.a st.6 st_gc.6

test: stmain

stmain: stmain.6
     go tool 6l -L . -r . -o stmain stmain.6

stmain.6: stmain.go
     go tool 6g -I . stmain.go
