=head1 NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitBooleanGrep - Use C<List::MoreUtils::any> instead of C<grep> in boolean context.
=head1 AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Using C<grep> in boolean context is a common idiom for checking if any
elements in a list match a condition. This works because boolean
context is a subset of scalar context, and grep returns the number of
matches in scalar context. A non-zero number of matches means a
match.
But consider the case of a long array where the first element is a
match. Boolean C<grep> still checks all of the rest of the elements
needlessly. Instead, a better solution is to use the C<any> function
from L<List::MoreUtils|List::MoreUtils>, which short-circuits after
the first successful match to save time.
=head1 CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
=head1 CAVEATS
The algorithm for detecting boolean context takes a LOT of shortcuts.
There are lots of known false negatives. But, I was conservative in
writing this, so I hope there are no false positives.
