             Bug #: 13653
           Summary: Warn on self assignment with explicit cast
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: C++
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected], [email protected],

    Classification: Unclassified


Clang should warn on:

  struct foo { ... };
  foo f;
  f = foo(f);

because echristo made this mistake once.

We currently only warn on self assignment of builtin types (int, etc), not user
defined types (presumably because they might have interesting/deliberate side
effects - though I haven't confirmed that this is the reason for the choice).
The case above may be sufficiently uncommon that the bug/non-bug ratio is high
enough to warn.
