(void)should not be used to ignore return values, use 'std::ignore =' instead (es.48)
Excerpt from the C++ Core Guideline ES.48:
Never cast to
(void)to ignore a[[nodiscard]]return value. If you deliberately want to discard such a result, first think hard about whether that is really a good idea (there is usually a good reason the author of the function or of the return type used[[nodiscard]]in the first place). If you still think it's appropriate and your code reviewer agrees, usestd::ignore =to turn off the warning which is simple, portable, and easy to grep.
Code analysis name: USE_STD_IGNORE_INSTEAD_OF_VOID_CAST
Use std::ignore instead of cast to void:
struct S{};
[[nodiscard]] S getS();
void function() {
(void) getS(); // C26457
std::ignore = getS(); // OK
}
