Changes in existing checks¶
Improved misc-redundant-expression by fixing false positives in nested expressions involving different macros or a mix of macro and non-macro operands.
Improved readability-named-parameter check by ignoring standard tag types (e.g.
std::in_place_t,std::allocator_arg_t,std::nothrow_t, iterator tags, lock tags, etc.) that are used exclusively for overload resolution. Added theIgnoredTypesoption to allow customizing the set of ignored types.
