readability-operators-representation
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
Enforces consistent token representation for invoked binary, unary and
|
|
overloaded operators in C++ code. The check supports both traditional and
|
|
alternative representations of operators, such as ``&&`` and ``and``, ``||``
|
|
and ``or``, and so on.
|
|
|
|
In the realm of C++ programming, developers have the option to choose between
|
|
two distinct representations for operators: traditional token representation
|
|
and alternative token representation. Traditional tokens utilize symbols,
|
|
such as ``&&``, ``||``, and ``!``, while alternative tokens employ more
|
|
descriptive words like ``and``, ``or``, and ``not``.
|
|
|
|
In the following mapping table, a comprehensive list of traditional and
|
|
alternative tokens, along with their corresponding representations,
|
|
is presented:

Example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c++
|
|
|
|
// Traditional Token Representation:
|
|
|
|
if (!a||!b)
|
|
{
|
|
// do something
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Alternative Token Representation:
|
|
|
|
if (not a or not b)
|
|
{
|
|
// do something
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Options
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Due to the distinct benefits and drawbacks of each representation, the default
|
|
configuration doesn't enforce either. Explicit configuration is needed.
|
|
|
|
To configure check to enforce Traditional Token Representation for all
|
|
operators set options to `&&;&=;&;|;~;!;!=;||;|=;^;^=`.
|
|
|
|
To configure check to enforce Alternative Token Representation for all
|
|
operators set options to
|
|
`and;and_eq;bitand;bitor;compl;not;not_eq;or;or_eq;xor;xor_eq`.
|
|
|
|
Developers do not need to enforce all operators, and can mix the representations
|
|
as desired by specifying a semicolon-separated list of both traditional and
|
|
alternative tokens in the configuration, such as `and;||;not`.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: BinaryOperators
|
|
|
|
This option allows you to specify a semicolon-separated list of binary
|
|
operators for which you want to enforce specific token representation.
|
|
The default value is empty string.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: OverloadedOperators
|
|
|
|
This option allows you to specify a semicolon-separated list of overloaded
|
|
operators for which you want to enforce specific token representation.
|
|
The default value is empty string.
