Coding standards

Code examples

The following code example fails the check and will give a warning:

#include <stdint.h>
void f ( )
{
  int32_t s32;
  int16_t s16;
  s16 = s32; // Non-compliant
}

The following code example passes the check and will not give a warning about this issue:

#include <stdint.h>
void f ( )
{
  int32_t s32;
  int16_t s16;
  s16 = static_cast< int16_t > ( s32 ); // Compliant
}
