felix <felix.von.s at posteo dot de> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |felix.von.s at posteo dot de --- Comment #4 from felix <felix.von.s at posteo dot de> --- Created attachment 52401 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=52401&action=edit Basic patch (no tests) Attached is a simple patch adding a warning checks for violations of the Rule of Three and the Rule of Five (Core Guideline C.21) and enabling it at the -Wextra level. Not included is a check for the rule-of-four-and-a-half variant: a swapping by-value assignment operator overload, paired with the appropriate constructor, is enough to implement copy- or move-assignment. Rule of Zero would be much harder to check for, but it may be possible to diagnose certain violations of it, by looking at the code inside the destructor: if the delete operator, or a single function is invoked more than once in the destructor, it probably means the class manages more than one resource.
