readability-inconsistent-declaration-parameter-name
|
|
===================================================
|
|
|
|
Find function declarations which differ in parameter names.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c++
|
|
|
|
// in foo.hpp:
|
|
void foo(int a, int b, int c);
|
|
|
|
// in foo.cpp:
|
|
void foo(int d, int e, int f); // warning
|
|
|
|
This check should help to enforce consistency in large projects, where it often
|
|
happens that a definition of function is refactored, changing the parameter
|
|
names, but its declaration in header file is not updated. With this check, we
|
|
can easily find and correct such inconsistencies, keeping declaration and
|
|
definition always in sync.
|
|
|
|
Unnamed parameters are allowed and are not taken into account when comparing
|
|
function declarations, for example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c++
|
|
|
|
void foo(int a);
|
|
void foo(int); // no warning
|
|
|
|
To help with refactoring, in some cases fix-it hints are generated to align
|
|
parameter names to a single naming convention. This works with the assumption
|
|
that the function definition is the most up-to-date version, as it directly
|
|
references parameter names in its body. Example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c++
|
|
|
|
void foo(int a); // warning and fix-it hint (replace "a" to "b")
|
|
int foo(int b) { return b + 2; } // definition with use of "b"
|
|
|
|
In the case of multiple redeclarations or function template specializations,
|
|
a warning is issued for every redeclaration or specialization inconsistent with
|
|
the definition or the first declaration seen in a translation unit.
