QA·C Help - 0722

	0722	Enum constant not explicitly initialized, but a previous constant has been.

Enumerations		REFERENCE - ISO:C90-6.5.2.2 Enumeration Specifiers - Semantics

If an enumeration constant is not explicitly initialized, its value is determined by adding 1 to the value of the previous constant. If the first enumeration constant is not explicitly initialized, its value is 0.

Message 0722 is generated when an enumeration constant is not explicitly initialized but a previous constant has been.

For example:


/*PRQA S 553,723,2017,2211,2213,3602 ++*/

enum A {A1, A2, A3 = 10, A4 = 12};

enum B {B1 = 3, B2 = 5, B3 = 7, B4 = 9};

enum C {C1, C2, C3, C4};

enum D {D1, D2 = 5, D3, D4 = 10};               /* Message 0722 */

enum E {E1, E2, E3 = 10, E4};                   /* Message 0722 */
