Cgocall entersyscall panics SIGSEGV on c function return with ** struct

whats the issue here? don’t know how to get into more detail

when I execute priceEffect (see c header below) in go
var cOut **C.PriceEffect
cOut = C.newPriceEffect()
C.priceEffect(
cQuery,
cConnStr,
cTls,
cScope,
cPrecision,
cOut)

go sigsegvs. when I remove cOut frm header and go call, it works fine. In my code I don’t even change cOut at all. I only create a new one in C, pass pointer to c/rust and then I ideally want to modify it (which I dont do in this thread for simplicity) in c/rust. so I assume go has some problems with the parameter type. how can I fix this?

this is the c header:
typedef struct {
int status;
double mean;
double d_mean;
double median;
double d_median;
double std_dev;
double d_std_dev;
double variance;
double d_variance;
double *effects;
unsigned int effects_len;
} PriceEffect;
int priceEffect(char *query, char *conn_str, int tls, int time_scope, int precise, PriceEffect **outs);
PriceEffect **newPriceEffect();
void destroyPriceEffect(PriceEffect **effect);

err (occurs when the function returns)

can close this. its some esoteric rust/c/go ■■■■, I don’t know who’s the culprit. htink its too complicated to think about.
