unsafestrconv

An analyzer to detect string(int) casts in Go programs

- -

Constructs like this are legal in Go, but probably programming errors:

x := 100
fmt.Println(string(x)) // outputs "d", not "100"

This linter helps catch those!

Note that the Go stdlib now has a better version of this check, you should use it instead! See https://github.com/golang/tools/tree/master/go/analysis/passes/stringintconv/cmd/stringintconv.
