Improve MA0192 HasFlag detection for zero comparisons#1161
Merged
Conversation
Add support for (value & flag) compared to 0 for ==, !=, is, and is not patterns when the enum flag is a single non-zero bit. Keep existing same-flag patterns, update fixer negation semantics, extend tests, and document the new behavior.

MA0192 currently catches
(value & Flag) == Flagstyle checks, but it misses the common zero-comparison form used to test bit presence. This makes the rule inconsistent and leaves validHasFlagsimplifications unreported.What changed
(value & Flag) == 0(value & Flag) != 0(value & Flag) is 0(value & Flag) is not 0== Flag,!= Flag,is Flag,is not Flag).== 0/is 0->!HasFlag,!= 0/is not 0->HasFlag).Notes for reviewers
The main non-obvious behavior is the single-bit guard for zero comparisons. This is intentional to avoid changing meaning for combined flag constants where
HasFlagand!= 0are not equivalent.
