Golang linter for performance, aiming at usages of fmt.Sprintf which have faster alternatives.

go install github.com/catenacyber/perfsprint@latest

perfsprint --fix ./...

To disable int/uint cast, you can use the flag -int-conversion=false

To disable fmt.Errorf optimization, you can use the flag -errorf=false This optimization is not always equivalent. The code

msg := "format string attack %s"
fmt.Errorf(msg)

will panic when its optimized version will not (so it should be safer).

To disable fmt.Sprintf("toto") optimization, you can use the flag -sprintf1=false This optimization is not always equivalent. The code

msg := "format string attack %s"
fmt.Sprintf(msg)

will panic when its optimized version will not (so it should be safer).

To enable err.Error() optimization, you can use the flag -err-error=true This optimization only works when the error is not nil, otherwise the resulting code will panic.

fmt.Sprintf("%s", strVal)  ->  strVal
fmt.Sprintf("%t", boolVal) ->  strconv.FormatBool(boolBal)
fmt.Sprintf("%x", hash)    ->  hex.EncodeToString(hash)
fmt.Sprintf("%d", id)      ->  strconv.Itoa(id)
fmt.Sprintf("%v", version) ->  strconv.FormatUint(uint64(version), 10)
