modernize-use-starts-ends-with¶
Checks for common roundabout ways to express starts_with
and ends_with
and suggests replacing with the simpler method when it is available. Notably,
this will work with std::string
and std::string_view
.
std::string s = "...";
if (s.find("prefix") == 0) { /* do something */ }
if (s.rfind("prefix", 0) == 0) { /* do something */ }
if (s.compare(0, strlen("prefix"), "prefix") == 0) { /* do something */ }
if (s.compare(s.size() - strlen("suffix"), strlen("suffix"), "suffix") == 0) {
/* do something */
}
if (s.rfind("suffix") == (s.length() - 6)) {
/* do something */
}
becomes
std::string s = "...";
if (s.starts_with("prefix")) { /* do something */ }
if (s.starts_with("prefix")) { /* do something */ }
if (s.starts_with("prefix")) { /* do something */ }
if (s.ends_with("suffix")) { /* do something */ }
if (s.ends_with("suffix")) { /* do something */ }
