+hicpp-ignored-remove-result
+===========================
+
+Ensure that the result of ``std::remove``, ``std::remove_if`` and ``std::unique``
+are not ignored according to
+`rule 17.5.1 <https://www.perforce.com/resources/qac/high-integrity-cpp-coding-standard/standard-library>`_.
+
+The mutating algorithms ``std::remove``, ``std::remove_if`` and both overloads
+of ``std::unique`` operate by swapping or moving elements of the range they are
+operating over. On completion, they return an iterator to the last valid
+element. In the majority of cases the correct behavior is to use this result as
+the first operand in a call to ``std::erase``.
+
+Suppressing issues by casting to ``void`` is enabled by default and can be
+disabled by setting `AllowCastToVoid` option to ``false``.
