My last patch only changes `if(y && isa<X>(y))` if `y` is a `CXXMemberCallExpr`, so I hope that addresses your concern. ================ Comment at: clang-tools-extra/clang-tidy/llvm/AvoidCastInConditionalCheck.cpp:145 + + diag(MatchedDecl->getBeginLoc(), "use dyn_cast_or_null") + << FixItHint::CreateReplacement(SourceRange(MatchedDecl->getBeginLoc(), ---------------- aaron.ballman wrote: > This diagnostic doesn't tell the user what they've done wrong with the code > or why this is a better choice. Yes, but I'm not yet sure what it should say. Was sorta hoping for a suggestion.
