4 ===================================
6 Finds assignments within conditions of `if` statements.
7 Such assignments are bug-prone because they may have been intended as equality tests.
9 This check finds all assignments within `if` conditions, including ones that are not flagged
10 by `-Wparentheses` due to an extra set of parentheses, and including assignments that call
11 an overloaded `operator=()`. The identified assignments violate
12 `BARR group "Rule 8.2.c" <https://barrgroup.com/embedded-systems/books/embedded-c-coding-standard/statement-rules/if-else-statements>`_.
17 if(f = 4) { // This is identified by both `Wparentheses` and this check - should it have been: `if (f == 4)` ?
21 if((f == 5) || (f = 6)) { // the assignment here `(f = 6)` is identified by this check, but not by `-Wparentheses`. Should it have been `(f == 6)` ?
