Function UnsafeConvertStringToBytes

pkg/util/encoding/encoding.go:919–926

UnsafeConvertStringToBytes converts a string to a byte array to be used with string encoding functions. Note that the output byte array should not be modified if the input string is expected to be used again - doing so could violate Go semantics.

(s string)

// modified if the input string is expected to be used again - doing so could
// violate Go semantics.
func UnsafeConvertStringToBytes(s string) []byte {
	// unsafe.StringData output is unspecified for empty string input so always
	// return nil.
	if len(s) == 0 {
		return nil
	}
	return unsafe.Slice(unsafe.StringData(s), len(s))
}

// EncodeStringAscending encodes the string value using an escape-based encoding. See
// EncodeBytes for details. The encoded bytes are append to the supplied buffer
