cert-dcl16-c redirects here as an alias for this check. By default, only the suffixes that begin with l (l, ll, lu, llu, but not u, ul, ull) are diagnosed by that alias.

hicpp-uppercase-literal-suffix redirects here as an alias for this check.

Detects when the integral literal or floating point (decimal or hexadecimal) literal has a non-uppercase suffix and provides a fix-it hint with the uppercase suffix.

All valid combinations of suffixes are supported.

auto x = 1;  // OK, no suffix.

auto x = 1u; // warning: integer literal suffix 'u' is not upper-case

auto x = 1U; // OK, suffix is uppercase.

Options

NewSuffixes

Optionally, a list of the destination suffixes can be provided. When the suffix is found, a case-insensitive lookup in that list is made, and if a replacement is found that is different from the current suffix, then the diagnostic is issued. This allows for fine-grained control of what suffixes to consider and what their replacements should be.

Example

Given a list L;uL:

  • l -> L

  • L will be kept as is.

  • ul -> uL

  • Ul -> uL

  • UL -> uL

  • uL will be kept as is.

  • ull will be kept as is, since it is not in the list

  • and so on.

IgnoreMacros

If this option is set to true (default is true), the check will not warn about literal suffixes inside macros.
