[clang-tidy] add check cppcoreguidelines-pro-type-static-cast-downcast
Summary: This check flags all usages of static_cast, where a base class is casted to a derived class. In those cases, a fixit is provided to convert the cast to a dynamic_cast. Use of these casts can violate type safety and cause the program to access a variable that is actually of type X to be accessed as if it were of an unrelated type Z. This rule is part of the "Type safety" profile of the C++ Core Guidelines, see https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/blob/master/CppCoreGuidelines.md#-type2-dont-use-static_cast-downcasts-use-dynamic_cast-instead Depends on D13313 Reviewers: alexfh, sbenza, bkramer, aaron.ballman Subscribers: cfe-commits Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D13368 llvm-svn: 250098
