Is there a lint script that will enforce use of this for class variables?
Ex -
class A {
int var1;
void func() {
return var1;
}
}
should be -
class A {
int var1;
void func() {
return this->var1;
}
}

3*"should be"* - Is this a coding style requirement or some misguided assumption? – StoryTeller - Unslander Monica Jan 10 '18 at 11:14

basically there should be clear distinction between class and local variables. One way to do that is to name class variables with some rule(like adding an underscore). But if you can enforce this, that shouldn't be required – Nishant Jan 10 '18 at 11:49

1You don't think lugging `this->` around is kind of a "naming rule"? – StoryTeller - Unslander Monica Jan 10 '18 at 11:51

Ofcourse it is. But I find that more clear than naming variables correctly. – Nishant Jan 10 '18 at 12:16

Having to type an extra 6 characters just to access a member variable sounds like a frustrating rule – Sean Jan 10 '18 at 12:18

Anyway, do you think it's unnecessary or is there a better way? – Nishant Jan 10 '18 at 12:18

1I'm pretty sure that Lint only provides rules for suggestions to *improve* your code. – Toby Speight Jan 10 '18 at 13:18
