While working with bitwise operators & or |, it is easy to make a typo and write the equivalent logical
operators && or ||. This rule raises an issue when the right operand of a logical expression &&
or || is a constant of integral type, as the developer probably meant to use the corresponding bitwise operator & or
|.
Noncompliant code example
int fun(int a) {
return a || 4; // Noncompliant: did you mean to use bitwise operator '|'?
}
Compliant solution
int fun(int a) {
return a | 4;
}
