| =============================================== |
| |
| This check flags all usage of pointer arithmetic, because it could lead to an |
| invalid pointer. Subtraction of two pointers is not flagged by this check. |
| |
| Pointers should only refer to single objects, and pointer arithmetic is fragile |
| and easy to get wrong. ``span<T>`` is a bounds-checked, safe type for accessing |
| arrays of data. |
| |
| This rule is part of the "Bounds safety" profile of the C++ Core Guidelines, see |
| https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/blob/master/CppCoreGuidelines.md#Pro-bounds-arithmetic. |
