===============================================
|
|
|
|
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. array_view 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
