Rule 8-4-4 Exception for stream manipulators? - cgpzs - 07-09-2026
Hi,
Does Rule 8-4-4 imply that we have to write code like this? I do not see any exception for stream manipulators. Our static analyzer is flagging this case.
Code:
std::cout << "Hello World" << &std::endl;

It appears this has been addressed here:

Admins, consider editing the title of that thread to remove the erroneous characters, since it's very hard to see it relates to rule 8-4-4.

As you say, https://forum.misra.org.uk/showthread.ph...49#pid2749 clarifies the intent of the rule with respect to MISRA C++:2008
It's worth noting that the equivalent rule in MISRA C++:2023, 7.11.3, allows the use of std::endl etc.
