+
+misc-scope-reduction
+===========================
+
+Detects local variables in functions whose scopes can be minimized. This check
+covers guidelines described by SEI DCL19-C, MISRA C++:2008 Rule 3-4-1, and MISRA
+C:2012 Rule 8-9.
+
+Examples:
+
+.. code-block:: cpp
+
+    void test_deep_nesting() {
+      int deep = 1; // 'deep' can be declared in a smaller scope
+      if (true) {
+        if (true) {
+          if (true) {
+            if (true) {
+              int result = deep * 4;
+            }
+          }
+        }
+      }
+    }
+
+    void test_switch_multiple_cases(int value) {
+      int accumulator = 0; // 'accumulator' can be declared in a smaller scope
+      switch (value) {
+        case 1:
+          accumulator += 10;
+          break;
+        case 2:
+          accumulator += 20;
+          break;
+      }
+    }
+
+    void test_for_loop_expressions() {
+      int i; // 'i' can be declared in the for-loop initialization
+      for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
+        // loop body
+      }
+    }
