Integer to string type conversion
Reports conversions of string(x)
-alike expressions where x
is an integer but not byte or rune.
Such conversions are discouraged because they return the UTF-8 representation of the Unicode code point x
, and not a decimal string representation of x
as one might expect. Furthermore, if x
denotes an invalid code point, the conversion cannot be statically rejected.
For conversions that intend on using the code point, consider replacing them with string(rune(x))
. Otherwise, strconv.Itoa
and its equivalents return the string representation of the value in the desired base.
Example:
func main() {
a := 1
_ = string(a)
}
After the Convert integer to rune quick-fix is applied:
func main() {
a := 1
_ = string(rune(a))
}

Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.
