hicpp-explicit-conversions
==========================

This check is an alias for `google-explicit-constructor <google-explicit-constructor.html>`_.
Used to enforce parts of `rule 5.4.1 <http://www.codingstandard.com/rule/5-4-1-only-use-casting-forms-static_cast-excl-void-dynamic_cast-or-explicit-constructor-call/>`_.
This check will enforce that constructors and conversion operators are marked `explicit`.
Other forms of casting checks are implemented in other places.
The following checks can be used to check for more forms of casting:
