Convert array to slice in Go

Question

This seems like it would be a fairly common thing and abundant examples across the interwebs, but I can\'t seem to find an example of how to convert an [32]byte

Answer 1

This should work:

func Foo() [32]byte {
    return [32]byte{'0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'}
}

func Bar(b []byte) {
    fmt.Println(string(b))
}

func main() {
    x := Foo()
    Bar(x[:])
}

And it doesn't create a copy of the underlying buffer
