chore: Cleanup replace helper functions which does the same as ptr.To() #132749
Description
As soon as the Issue #132086 has been solved, we should find and remove left-over helper functions, and replace them with the actual implementation of the ptr package.
Examples:
We do have a few helpers like this:
func strPtr(str string) *string {
return &str
}
These can be easily replaced by:
ptr.To("XXX")
There are also serveral other helper functions. A few looks like this:
uint64Ptr Helpers already been replaced by @ylink-lfs with PR: #132787
func uint64Ptr(u uint64) *uint64 {
return &u
}
uint64ptr Helpers already been replaced by @ylink-lfs with PR: #132819
func uint64ptr(i uint64) *uint64 {
return &i
}
strPtr Helpers already been replaced by @ylink-lfs with the PR: #132788
func strPtr(str string) *string {
return &str
}
boolPtr Helpers already been replaced by @PatrickLaabs with PR: #132794
func boolPtr(val bool) *bool {
return &val
}
int64Ptr Helpers already getting replaced by @ylink-lfs with PR: #132845
func int64Ptr(i int64) *int64 {
return &i
}
func int32Ptr(i int32) *int32 { return &i }
timer ptr getting replaced by @PatrickLaabs with PR: #133030
func ptr(t time.Time) *time.Time {
return &t
}
toPtr Helpers already been replaced by @PatrickLaabs with PR: #132806
toPtr := func(s string) *string {
return &s
}
float64Ptr is getting replaced by @aman4433 with PR: #133104
func float64Ptr(f float64) *float64
This issue shall be tracking issue to replace those helpers overtime - as this might be a long running task aswell.
