The unconvert program analyzes Go packages to identify unnecessary
|
|
type conversions; i.e., expressions T(x) where x already has type T.
|
|
|
|
Install:
|
|
|
|
$ go get github.com/mdempsky/unconvert
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
$ unconvert -v bytes fmt
|
|
GOROOT/src/bytes/reader.go:117:14: unnecessary conversion
|
|
abs = int64(r.i) + offset
|
|
^
|
|
GOROOT/src/fmt/print.go:411:21: unnecessary conversion
|
|
p.fmt.integer(int64(v), 16, unsigned, udigits)
|
|
^
|
|
|
|
Flags:
|
|
|
|
Using the -v flag, unconvert will also print the source line and a
|
|
caret to indicate the unnecessary conversion's position therein.
|
|
|
|
Using the -apply flag, unconvert will rewrite the Go source files
|
|
without the unnecessary type conversions.
|
|
|
|
Using the -all flag, unconvert will analyze the Go packages under all
|
|
possible GOOS/GOARCH combinations, and only identify conversions that
|
|
are unnecessary in all cases.
|
|
|
|
E.g., syscall.Timespec's Sec and Nsec fields are int64 under
|
|
linux/amd64 but int32 under linux/386. An int64(ts.Sec) conversion
|
|
that appears in a linux/amd64-only file will be identified as
|
|
unnecessary, but it will be preserved if it occurs in a file that's
|
|
compiled for both linux/amd64 and linux/386.
