I don't do much C++ but -Weffc++ looks pretty cool.
-Weffc++ (C++ only)
Warn about violations of the following style guidelines from Scott
Meyers' Effective C++
book:
* Item 11: Define a copy constructor and an assignment operator
for classes with dynami-
cally allocated memory.
* Item 12: Prefer initialization to assignment in constructors.
* Item 14: Make destructors virtual in base classes.
* Item 15: Have "operator=" return a reference to *this.
* Item 23: Don't try to return a reference when you must return
an object.
Also warn about violations of the following style guidelines from
Scott Meyers' More Effec-
tive C++ book:
* Item 6: Distinguish between prefix and postfix forms of
increment and decrement opera-
tors.
* Item 7: Never overload "&&", "||", or ",".
but:
When selecting this option, be aware that the standard library
headers do not obey all of
these guidelines; use grep -v to filter out those warnings.
