Coding standards

Code examples

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

#include <string.h>

void reverse(char *string) {
	int i, j;
	j = strlen(string);
	for (i = 0; i < j; i++, j--) {
		char temp = string[i];
		string[i] = string[j];
		string[j] = temp;
	}
}

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

#include <string.h>

void reverse(char *string) {
	int i;
	int length = strlen(string);
	int half_length = length / 2;
	for (i = 0; i < half_length; i++) {
		int opposite = length - i;
		char temp = string[i];
		string[i] = string[opposite];
		string[opposite] = temp;
	}
}
