I don't understand how an Int64() method can do any better than int64(x) conversion, neither how there's loss of precision if both are the same size, and on any computer I'm aware of both types uses the same bit pattern. So maybe that's the rationale, use regular uint64 -> int64 langauge conversion. BR. -w -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
