V6032. It is odd that the body of 'Foo_1' function is fully equivalent to the body of 'Foo_2' function.

The analyzer has detected two methods with identical implementations. Although having two identical functions is not an error, they should still be reviewed.

The diagnostic rule detects the following error types:

class Point
{
  ....
  int GetX() { return mX; }
  int GetY() { return mX; }
};

A typo causes two logically different methods to perform the same actions. The fixed code:

int GetX() { return mX; }
int GetY() { return mY; }

In the example, the identical bodies of the GetX() and GetY() methods indicate an error. However, issuing warnings for all identical methods could result in many false positives. Therefore, the analyzer has a number of exceptions where a warning about identical method bodies is not required.

Some examples of exceptions:

• the analyzer does not report about identical methods' bodies if they do not use variables except for arguments. For example: bool IsXYZ() { return true; };
• methods with identical bodies are repeated more than twice;
• methods' bodies consist of only the throw() statement;
• and so on.
