[clang-tidy] Improve misc-redundant-expression and decrease false-positive

[etienneb]

Summary

This patch is adding support for conditional expression and overloaded operators.

To decrease false-positive, this patch is adding a list of banned macro names that
has multiple variant with same integer value.

Also fixed support for template instantiation and added an unittest.

Now that you have pulled an API for this, I'll wait until you update this patch.

[etienneb]

use new API

[etienneb]

fix bad upload

LG.

Is there a way to not create a set on each call to the matcher? There also might be a more suitable container in llvm/ADT.

We should add a hasAnyOverloadedOperatorName matcher at some point.

[etienneb]

We should add a hasAnyOverloadedOperatorName matcher at some point.

I proposed it to sbenza@ and he told me that the reason he did HasAnyName was for speed issue.
I can't tell if that one has speed issue too.

But, otherwise, I agree... for code readability... we should do it.

[etienneb]

remove useless set creation

[etienneb]

fix naming nits

[etienneb]

+ Removed copy of a vector to a set
+ Fixed some minor coding-style issues

clang-tidy/misc/RedundantExpressionCheck.cpp

Some ideas:

1. We may assume the vector is small and do the lookup.
2. We may assume a sorted vector and do a binary search.
3. The matcher could receive a set instead of a vector and lifting out the copy.

Implemented 3)

Ah, found it: llvm/ADT/StringSet.h seems to be a better choice here.

 misc-redundant-expression
 =========================
 
 Detect redundant expressions which are typically errors due to copy-paste.
 
 Depending on the operator expressions may be
   * redundant,
   * always be `true`,
   * always be `false`,
   * always be a constant (zero or one)
 
 Example:
+
 .. code:: c++
 
   ((x+1) | (x+1))             // (x+1) is redundant
   (p->x == p->x)              // always true
   (p->x < p->x)               // always false
   (speed - speed + 1 == 12)   // speed - speed is always zero
