Functions

func ToByteSlice

func ToByteSlice(s string) (bs []byte)

ToByteSlice returns the string s as a []byte. Note that cap in bs is set to the length of s. WARNING! bs uses the same memory as s and has therefore broken the immutability of the string s. This can lead to serious bugs, vulnerabilities or other errors if used incorrectly.

Example

package main

import (
	typehack "."
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	s := "Hello, Gophers!"
	fmt.Println("ToByteSlice:", typehack.ToByteSlice(s))
	fmt.Println("Raw s:", s)
}

Output:
ToByteSlice: [72 101 108 108 111 44 32 71 111 112 104 101 114 115 33]
Raw s: Hello, Gophers!

func ToString

func ToString(bs []byte) (s string)

ToString returns the []byte bs as a string. Note that the cap value from bs is discarded. WARNING! s uses the same memory as bs and is therfor not Immutable. This can lead to serious bugs, vulnerabilities or other errors if used incorrectly.

Example

package main

import (
	typehack "."
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	bs := []byte("Hello, Gophers!")
	fmt.Println("ToString:", typehack.ToString(bs))
	fmt.Println("Raw bs:", bs)
}

Output:
ToString: Hello, Gophers!
Raw bs: [72 101 108 108 111 44 32 71 111 112 104 101 114 115 33]
