PostIncrement

Summary

Avoid post-increment/decrement operators (e.g. i++, i--), if they can be replaced with pre-increment/decrement ones (e.g. ++i, --i).

Default severity

Warning

Description

In general, unary operators must be followed by their operand. If the post-increment/decrement operator doesn't make sense in evaluating the expression, but only its side effects are needed, it must be replaced with pre-increment/decrement one.

Code fix

The code fix provides an option replacing the post-increment/decrement operator with the pre-increment/decrement one.

Example

Diagnostic

i++;

Code fix

++i;
