stringbytesroundtrip

Documentation

Overview

Package stringbytesroundtrip implements a Go analysis linter that flags redundant round-trip type conversions: string([]byte(s)) when s is already a string, and []byte(string(b)) when b is already a []byte. Both conversions create an unnecessary intermediate copy and leave the caller with the same underlying type as the input.
