+
+misc-redundant-expression
+=========================
+
+Detect redundant expressions which are typically errors due to copy-paste.
+
+Depending on the operator expressions may be
+ * redundant,
+ * always be `true`,
+ * always be `false`,
+ * always be a constant (zero or one)
+
+Example:
+.. code:: c++
+
+ ((x+1) | (x+1)) // (x+1) is redundant
+ (p->x == p->x) // always true
+ (p->x < p->x) // always false
+ (speed - speed + 1 == 12) // speed - speed is always zero
