# abseil-duration-conversion-cast

Checks for casts of `absl::Duration` conversion functions, and recommends the right conversion function instead.

Examples:

    // Original - Cast from a double to an integer
    absl::Duration d;
    int i = static_cast<int>(absl::ToDoubleSeconds(d));

    // Suggested - Use the integer conversion function directly.
    int i = absl::ToInt64Seconds(d);

    // Original - Cast from a double to an integer
    absl::Duration d;
    double x = static_cast<double>(absl::ToInt64Seconds(d));

    // Suggested - Use the integer conversion function directly.
    double x = absl::ToDoubleSeconds(d);

Note: In the second example, the suggested fix could yield a different result, as the conversion to integer could truncate. In practice, this is very rare, and you should use `absl::Trunc` to perform this operation explicitly instead.
