.. title:: clang-tidy - modernize-use-starts-ends-with

modernize-use-starts-ends-with
==============================

Checks for common roundabout ways to express ``starts_with`` and ``ends_with``
and suggests replacing with the simpler method when it is available. Notably,
this will work with ``std::string`` and ``std::string_view``.

Covered scenarios:

Expression                                           Replacement

``u.find(v) == 0``                                   ``u.starts_with(v)``
``u.find(v, 0) == 0``                                ``u.starts_with(v)``
