Code inspection: Redundant boolean comparison

This inspection reports a boolean comparison or boolean pattern check that can be simplified. Comparing a bool to true or false, or matching it against a constant boolean pattern, usually adds syntax without adding meaning.

Example

                class C
                {
                    void M(bool flag)
                    {
                        if (flag == true)
                        {
                        }
                    }
                }
            

                class C
                {
                    void M(bool flag)
                    {
                        if (flag)
                        {
                        }
                    }
                }
            

Quick-fix

Depending on the original form, the quick-fix can also replace == false with !flag or remove a constant boolean pattern such as value is true.
