Please note that bear will capture what the make runs, not what is in the makefile.

Here's the explanation. The essence of the 11.1,11.2,11.3 and 11.4 rules as a collective is (after being translated into clang AST) that any time there is an `ImplicitCastExpr` or `CStyleCastExpr` that has `CastKind = CK_BitCast` the rule-checker should tag it. `CK_BitCast` means that a bit-pattern of one kind is being interpreted as a bit-pattern of another kind which is dangerous. This `CastKind` couple with the other `CastKinds` provided by the clang frontend enable us to tag cases where there is a deviation from the specified rules. Of course it is possible to check for exactly what the rules ask for but execution-time.<br/> + ### Dev Method TDD tests are created for each added feature which are stored under the **test** folder in the repo.<br/> Smoke tests and Daily builds are conducted to make sure the code base builds correctly more than once every day.<br/> |
