(Required) No reliance shall be placed on undefined or unspecified behavior.

MISRA C:2012 Rule-1.3

Code examples

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

int foo(void)
{
  int a = 20, b = 0, c;
  c = a / b;    /* Divide by zero */
  return c;
}

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

int foo(void)
{
  int a = 20, b = 5, c;
  c = a / b; /* b is not 0 */
  return c;
}
