I can see how there is a cost for float64 <-> float32, or for float64 <-> int, but is there a cost for the specific case of int <-> uint? 'floatxx' <-> 'floatyy' <-> 'intzz' is obviously non free. But what possible run-time cost in conversion between 'uint' and 'int' - considering it's always valid and the bit representations have the same shape, size, organization and modulo the sign bit also interpretation - can you think of? -- -j -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
