Affected rules

• RULE-10-4

Description

This rule has a number of issues related to how essential types are resolved:

• The essential type of an enum type is not considered after resolving typedefs and removing specifiers.
• The essential type of an anonymous enum (as specified by MISRA) is not considered to be essentially signed.
• \n is not considered to be char type.

Example

void example_function(char c, int i) {
  typedef enum { A } EA;
  EA ea = A;
  ea == A; // COMPLIANT[FALSE_POSITIVE]
  c == `\n`; // COMPLIANT[FALSE_POSITIVE]
  enum { B };
  i == B; // COMPLIANT[FALSE_POSITIVE]
}
