| <clang-tidy/checks/cert-oop57-cpp>` check. |
| |
| Flags use of the `C` standard library functions ``memset``, ``memcpy`` and |
| ``memcmp`` and similar derivatives on non-trivial types. |
| |
| - New :doc:`objc-dealloc-in-category |
| <clang-tidy/checks/objc-dealloc-in-category>` check. |
| |
| Finds implementations of -dealloc in Objective-C categories. |
| |
| - New :doc:`misc-no-recursion |
| <clang-tidy/checks/misc-no-recursion>` check. |
| |

| |
| Changes in existing checks |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Improved :doc:`readability-qualified-auto |
| <clang-tidy/checks/readability-qualified-auto>` check now supports a |
| `AddConstToQualified` to enable adding ``const`` qualifiers to variables |
| typed with ``auto *`` and ``auto &``. |
| |
| - Improved :doc:`readability-redundant-string-init |
| <clang-tidy/checks/readability-redundant-string-init>` check now supports a |
| `StringNames` option enabling its application to custom string classes. The |
