Rule 10.2 Are increment/decrement compliant - misra-c - 13-02-2015
Are the increment and decrement operators on essentially character type allowed?
Code:
char c = ‘A’;
c++; /* compliant or not compliant */Re: Rule 10.2 Are increment/decrement compliant - misra-c - 13-02-2015
- Rule 10.2 only applies to the binary +, -, += and -= operators.
- Rule 10.1 permits plain char as an operand to increment/decrement operators, as explained in the sentence "Under this rule the ++ and -- operators behave the same way as the binary + and - operators.
- Rule 10.4 does not apply to the increment/decrement operator, as explained in the sentence “the increment and decrement operators are not covered by this rule.â€
