# readability-static-accessed-through-instance

Checks for member expressions that access static members through instances, and replaces them with uses of the appropriate qualified-id.

Example:

The following code:

    struct C {
      static void foo();
      static int x;
      enum { E1 };
      enum E { E2 };
    };

    C *c1 = new C();
    c1->foo();
    c1->x;
    c1->E1;
    c1->E2;

is changed to:

    C *c1 = new C();
    C::foo();
    C::x;
    C::E1;
    C::E2;

The –fix commandline option provides default support for safe fixes, whereas –fix-notes enables fixes that may replace expressions with side effects, potentially altering the program’s behavior.
