Summary0003817: std::string compare method is sometimes used instead of equality/inequality operators
DescriptionI think some of these string comparisons with std::string's compare method don't make sense over equality or inequality operators (== or !=). Bad readability, clang-tidy seems to agree.
Steps To ReproduceAn example:
Quote from src/core/irc/ircuserinfo.cpp
bool IRCUserInfo::operator==(const IRCUserInfo &otherUser) const
{
        QString thisNickname = this->cleanNicknameLowerCase();
        QString otherNickname = otherUser.cleanNicknameLowerCase();

        return thisNickname.compare(otherNickname) == 0;
}

Could instead have written return thisNickname == otherNickname.
grep -r '\.compare' src/ | less to sort through some of these. Some Qt::CaseInsensitive cases make sense.

Technically it's QString::compare, but the same idea.

As long as there is no reason to use the result for something like a switch or something, yep, I agree.
