As of go1.8, do conversions between strings and byte slices always generate a copy?
I understand the immutability guarantees in the language spec, but I'm interested in this from an efficiency standpoint. I can imagine a compiler that analyzes whether a byte slice created from such a conversion is ever modified and foregoing the copy in some cases, while still adhering to the immutability guarantees. I have searched this forum for a past thread on this topic but have come up empty. Feel free to point me to the relevant discussion. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
