  9. // In the future it's possible that compiler optimizations will make these
  10. // XxxString functions unnecessary by realizing that calls such as
  11. // Sum64([]byte(s)) don't need to copy s. See https://go.dev/issue/2205.
  12. // If that happens, even if we keep these functions they can be replaced with
  13. // the trivial safe code.
  14. // NOTE: The usual way of doing an unsafe string-to-[]byte conversion is:
  15. //
  16. // var b []byte
  17. // bh := (*reflect.SliceHeader)(unsafe.Pointer(&b))
  18. // bh.Data = (*reflect.StringHeader)(unsafe.Pointer(&s)).Data
  19. // bh.Len = len(s)
  20. // bh.Cap = len(s)
  21. //
  22. // Unfortunately, as of Go 1.15.3 the inliner's cost model assigns a high enough
  23. // weight to this sequence of expressions that any function that uses it will
  24. // not be inlined. Instead, the functions below use a different unsafe
  25. // conversion designed to minimize the inliner weight and allow both to be
  26. // inlined. There is also a test (TestInlining) which verifies that these are
  27. // inlined.
