Squiz.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacingSniff doesn't detect negative numbers correctly

[Konafets]

The sniff doesn't check the right withespace. The following code doesn't raise an error. I would expect that there is no whitespace allowed after the minus operator.

$y = - 10 + 2;

You can use the Squiz.Formatting.OperatorBracket sniff if you want to enforce this. The error message you get is No space allowed between minus sign and number.

The OperatorSpacing sniff is only concerned with arithmetic operators and specifically excludes minus signs that are used for making a number negative.

I will look into that. Thanks!

@gsherwood I come with this same issue with the following code:

$x = -1;

My ruleset in specific forbids "useless" parentheses, witch the OperatorBracket enforces them. Is there another way to fix this issue with negative numbers?

@carusogabriel I have a suspicion that this is fixed in commit 82366db which is part of PR #2456.
