+.. title:: clang-tidy - readability-redundant-casting
+
+readability-redundant-casting
+=============================
+
+Detects explicit type casting operations that involve the same source and
+destination types, and subsequently recommend their removal. Covers a range of
+explicit casting operations, including ``static_cast``, ``const_cast``, C-style
+casts, and ``reinterpret_cast``. Its primary objective is to enhance code
+readability and maintainability by eliminating unnecessary type casting.
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+  int value = 42;
+  int result = static_cast<int>(value);
+
+In this example, the ``static_cast<int>(value)`` is redundant, as it performs
+a cast from an ``int`` to another ``int``.
+
+Casting operations involving constructor conversions, user-defined conversions,
+functional casts, type-dependent casts, casts between distinct type aliases that
+refer to the same underlying type, as well as bitfield-related casts and casts
+directly from lvalue to rvalue, are all disregarded by the check.
+
+Options
+-------
+
+.. option:: IgnoreMacros
+
+   If set to `true`, the check will not give warnings inside macros. Default
+   is `true`.
+
+.. option:: IgnoreTypeAliases
+
+   When set to `false`, the check will consider type aliases, and when set to
+   `true`, it will resolve all type aliases and operate on the underlying
+   types. Default is `false`.
