Rule

 

ARR01-CPP. Do not apply the sizeof operator to a pointer when taking the size of an array

 

ARR30-CPP. Guarantee that array and vector indices are within the valid range

 

DCL01-CPP. Do not reuse variable names in subscopes

 

DCL04-CPP. Do not declare more than one variable per declaration

 

DCL06-CPP. Use meaningful symbolic constants to represent literal values in program logic

 

DCL36-CPP. Do not declare an identifier with conflicting linkage classifications

 

EXP00-CPP. Use parentheses for precedence of operation

 

EXP06-CPP. Operands to the sizeof operator should not contain side effects

 

EXP19-CPP. Do not perform assignments in conditional expressions

 

EXP35-CPP. Do not cast away a const qualification

 

EXP36-CPP. Do not convert pointers into more strictly aligned pointer types

 

FLP30-CPP. Do not use floating point variables as loop counters

 

INT07-CPP. Use only explicitly signed or unsigned char type for numeric values

 

INT09-CPP. Ensure enumeration constants map to unique values

 

INT13-CPP. Use bitwise operators only on unsigned operands

 

MEM02-CPP. Immediately cast the result of a memory allocation function call into a pointer to the allocated type

 

MSC04-CPP. Use comments consistently and in a readable fashion

 

MSC12-CPP. Detect and remove code that has no effect

 

MSC30-CPP. Do not use the rand() function for generating pseudorandom numbers

 

PRE01-CPP. Use parentheses within macros around parameter names

 

PRE02-CPP. Macro replacement lists should be parenthesized

 

PRE03-CPP. Prefer typedefs to defines for encoding types

 

PRE04-CPP. Do not reuse a standard header file name

 

PRE06-CPP. Enclose header files in an inclusion guard

 

PRE07-CPP. Avoid using repeated question marks

 

PRE31-CPP. Avoid side-effects in arguments to unsafe macros

 

STR34-CPP. Cast characters to unsigned types before converting to larger integer sizes
