# misc-unconventional-assign-operator

Finds declarations of assign operators with the wrong return and/or argument types and definitions with good return type but wrong `return` statements.

> - The return type must be `Class&`.

> - The assignment may be from the class type by value, const lvalue reference, non-const rvalue reference, or from a completely different type (e.g. `int`).

> - Private and deleted operators are ignored.

> - The operator must always return `*this`.
