Is the KeepAlive call in the following example essential? and sufficient?
func ByteSlice2String(bs []byte) (str string) {
sliceHdr := (*reflect.SliceHeader)(unsafe.Pointer(&bs))
strHdr := (*reflect.StringHeader)(unsafe.Pointer(&str))
strHdr.Len = sliceHdr.Len
strHdr.Data = sliceHdr.Data
runtime.KeepAlive(&bs) // is this line essential? is it sufficient?
return
}
