QA·C Help - 0723

	0723	Initialize none, first only, or all entries in this enumerator list.

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 0723 is generated when an enumeration does not conform to any of the following principles:

Only the first constant is initialized
All constants are initialized
No constants are initialized

For example:


/*PRQA S 553,722,2017,2211,2213,3602 ++*/

enum A {A1 = 5, A2, A3, A4};

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

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

enum D {D1, D2 = 5, D3, D4};                    /* Message 0723 */

enum E {E1 = 5, E2 = 7, E3 = 9, E4};            /* Message 0723 */
