Research direction
To implement this check, study existing bugprone checks in clang tidy (e.g., bugprone unused raii) for patterns. The check should detect calls to 'delete this' within member functions and suggest alternatives. Initial implementation can be in clang tools extra/clang tidy/bugprone/. See the Bugzilla link for additional context.
