Affected rules

  • A5-16-1

Description

CodeQL triggers A5-16-1 on a plain ternary expression.

Example

const auto smallestSet = (setA.size() < setB.size() ? setA : setB);

Thanks for this report! This is because the parentheses in your example are considered as the parent of ternary expression. However, one of the rule examples makes it clear that this case should be excluded.
