When an unpinned Go pointer (or a pointer to an unpinned Go pointer) is
returned from Go to C,

     1  package main
     2
     3  import (
     4          "C"
     5  )
     6
     7  //export foo
     8  func foo(CLine *C.char) string {
     9          return C.GoString(CLine)
    10  }
    11
    12
    13  func main() {
    14  }

The error message mentions the file/line of the cgo wrapper,

    panic: runtime error: cgo result is unpinned Go pointer or points to unpinned Go pointer

The cgo wrapper (_cgoexp_3c910ddb72c4_foo) is located in a temporary

        62          a.r0 = foo(a.p0)
        63          _cgoCheckResult(a.r0)
        64  }

The file/line of the export'ed function is expected in the error message.

Use it in error messages.

So doing, fix typos in comments.
