Warning

deadcode detects methods that implement an interface as dead code if it is not used in the project.

Please verify the interface compliance at compile time and restore the method when rdeadcode removes it.

// Verify interface compliance at compile time
var _ fmt.Stringer = myString{}

type myString struct {
	Value string
}

func (s myString) String() string {
	return s.Value
}
