+bugprone-loop-variable-copied-then-modified
+===========================================
+
+Warns when a loop variable is copied and subsequently modified.
+
+This pattern is considered bugprone because, frequently, programmers do not
+realize that they are modifying a *copy* rather than an underlying value,
+resulting in subtly erroneous code.
+
+For instance, the following code attempts to null out a value in a map, but 
only
+succeeds in 
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+  for (auto target : target_map) {
+    target.value = nullptr;
+  }
+
+The programmer is likely to have intended this code instead:
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+    
+  for (const auto& target : target_map) {
+    target.value = nullptr;
+  }
+
+This warning can be suppressed in one of two ways:
+  - In cases where the programmer did not intend to create a copy, they can
+    convert the loop variable to a const reference. A FixIt message will
