  "message": "internal/descfmt: replace uses of MethodByName with direct calls when possible\n\nUpdate internal/descfmt/stringer.go to avoid calling MethodByName when possible.\nMethodByName allows calling a method even when the signature is unknown, but it forces the linker to keep all methods with a matching name, increasing binary size with dead code. On the other hand casting to an interface only keeps methods with a matching signature.\nUsing MethodByName also bypasses compiler typing, so making a direct call is safer.\n\nIn this specific case, the code checks whether a type implements an interface or is a specific type before using MethodByName and FieldByName to access its methods and fields, so we can just access them directly.\n\nI checked the size difference for the datadog-agent and kubernetes binaries (ranging from 20 to 100MiB), and the resulting gains were between 100 and 300kiB, which is small but not negligible.\n\nThis is a follow-up of https://go.dev/cl/734280.\n\nFixes golang/protobuf#1708\nChange-Id: Ib6ca16f7f7a871c8625d934c6115b47e525a42e9\nReviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/protobuf/+/735401\nReviewed-by: Lasse Folger \u003classefolger@google.com\u003e\nLUCI-TryBot-Result: Go LUCI \u003cgolang-scoped@luci-project-accounts.iam.gserviceaccount.com\u003e\nReviewed-by: Michael Stapelberg \u003cstapelberg@google.com\u003e\n",
