=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitDuplicateHashKeys - disallow duplicate literal hash keys

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This policy is part of the L<C<Perl::Critic::Pulp>|Perl::Critic::Pulp>
add-on.  It reports duplicate literal hash keys in a hash assignment or
anonymous hashref.

    my %hash = (red   => 1,
                green => 2,
                red   => 3,    # bad
               );

    my $hashref = { red   => 1,
                    red   => 3,   # bad
                  };

Writing duplicate literal keys is probably a mistake or too much cut and
paste, and if the values are different will make it unclear to human readers
what was meant.  On that basis this policy is under the "bugs" theme and
medium severity (see L<Perl::Critic/POLICY THEMES>).

Perl is happy to run code like the above.  The value of the last "red" is
stored.  As runtime behaviour, this is good since you can give defaults
which further values from a caller or similar can replace.  For example,

    sub new {
      my $class = shift;
      return bless { foo => 'default',
                     bar => 'default',
                     @_ }, $class;
    }

    MyClass->new (foo => 'caller value'); # overriding 'default'

=head2 Expressions

Expressions within a hash list cannot be checked in general.  Some
concatenations of literals are recognised though they're probably unusual.

    my %hash = (ab      => 1,
                'a'.'b' => 2);  # bad

    my %hash = (__PACKAGE__.'a' => 1,
                __PACKAGE__.'a' => 2);  # bad

Function calls etc within a list might return an odd or even number of
values.  Fat commas C<=E<gt>> are taken as indicating a key when in doubt.

    my %hash = (blah()    => 1,  # guided by =>
                a         => 2,
                a         => 3); # bad

    my %hash = (blah(),
                a         => 2,  # guided by =>
                a         => 3); # bad

A hash substitution is always an even number of arguments,

    my %hash = (a         => 1,
                %blah,           # even number
                a         => 5); # bad, duplicate

C<qw()> words are recognised too

    my %hash = (qw(foo value1
                   foo value2));  # bad

=head2 Disabling

If you don't care about this you can always disable
C<ProhibitDuplicateHashKeys> from your F<.perlcriticrc> file in the usual
way (see L<Perl::Critic/CONFIGURATION>),
