What is the method of defining the Function Prototype

[prem_annam]

Hi,

I am facing the MISRA.VAR.HIDDEN error.

When i defined the function prototype with parameters and using the same parameters name while calling the function.

Can any one give me suggestion how can it will be modified to avoid the error.

Thanks in advance.

Can you provide a code snippet demonstrating the problem?
Also, which rule is reported as being violated (i assume MISRA.VAR.HIDDEN is some kind of incomplete static analyis tool output)?

Hi

This looks to be a tool specific question. They support team for the tool should be abler to help. They can tell you what the actual violation the tool is picking up. Then you can fix that. If you still have a question on MISRA implementation then ask again.

Hi,
This is thefunction prototype : int wc_ed25519_init(ed25519_key* key);
and the function call is ret = wc_ed25519_init(keyPair);

ERROR:Identifier 'key' hides identifier in an outer scope which is reported from KlocWork tool analysis.

Looks like there might be a global variable named key somewhere.
The message should disappear if you rename either of them.

The MISRA C working group can not make comments about particular tools, but the post by dg1980 would appear relevent.
