bugprone-string-integer-assignment¶

The check finds assignments of an integer to std::basic_string<CharT> (std::string, std::wstring, etc.). The source of the problem is the following assignment operator of std::basic_string<CharT>:

basic_string& operator=( CharT ch );

Numeric types can be implicitly casted to character types.

std::string s;
int x = 5965;
s = 6;
s = x;

Use the appropriate conversion functions or character literals.

std::string s;
int x = 5965;
s = '6';
s = std::to_string(x);

In order to suppress false positives, use an explicit cast.

std::string s;
s = static_cast<char>(6);
