Inspection Details

RedundantByRefModifier

Summary
Identifies redundant ByRef modifiers.
Reasoning
Out of convention or preference, explicit ByRef modifiers could be considered redundant since they are the implicit default. This inspection can ensure the consistency of the convention.
The following code example(s) would trigger this inspection:

Option Explicit
Public Sub DoSomething(ByRef foo As Long)
    foo = foo + 17
    Debug.Print foo
End Sub

The following code example(s) would not trigger this inspection:

Option Explicit
Public Sub DoSomething(foo As Long)
    foo = foo + 17
    Debug.Print foo
End Sub
