Require usage of fixed=TRUE in regular expressions where appropriate
Source: R/fixed_regex_linter.R
fixed_regex_linter.RdInvoking a regular expression engine is overkill for cases when the search pattern only involves static patterns.
Details
NB: for stringr functions, that means wrapping the pattern in stringr::fixed().
NB: This linter is likely not able to distinguish every possible case when a fixed regular expression is preferable, rather it seeks to identify likely cases. It should never report false positives, however; please report false positives as an error.
