[go-nuts] How to convert from []byte to []uint32?

[Christian LeMoussel]

I have a data stream of bytes and I'd like to get array of int32 (from four 
bytes).

func convertCharToInt32(buffer string) []uint32 {
    const SIZEOF_INT32 = 4

    var hh = make([]byte, 2)
    var cbuffer = make([]byte, len(buffer)/2)
    var hbuffer = make([]uint32, len(cbuffer)/SIZEOF_INT32)

    for i := 0; i < 28; i++ {
        hh[0] = buffer[i*2]
        hh[1] = buffer[i*2+1]
        if s, err := strconv.ParseUint(string(hh[:]), 16, 64); err == nil {
            cbuffer[i] = byte(s)
        }
    }

    for i := range hbuffer {
        hbuffer[i] = uint32(Endian.Uint32(cbuffer[i*SIZEOF_INT32 : (i+1)*
SIZEOF_INT32]))
    }

    return hbuffer
}

buffer := "83f982d600c1caca7a6"
hbuffer := convertCharToInt32(buffer)



The code above seems to work, but perhaps there is a built-in function in 
Go that I've missed or there is a super cool hack that does that in one 
instruction?
