Full description

A non-constant expression of floating type was found that is implicitly converted to a different underlying type in a function argument.

Coding standards
MISRA C:2004 10.2

(Required) The value of an expression of floating type shall not be implicitly converted to a different underlying type if: a. it is not a conversion to a wider floating type, or b. the expression is complex, or c. the expression is a function argument, or d. the expression is a return expression.

Code examples

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

void function(double argument);

void example(void) {
  float x = 4;
  function(x); // architecture dependent
}

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

void function(double argument);

void example(void) {
	function(4.0);
}
