[previous] 1261 [next] Suffixed floating constant implicitly converted to different floating type.
Arithmetic type - Balancing

A constant of type float is being implicitly converted to type double or long double in a balancing operation. Perhaps the constant should be rewritten with a different suffix ? The suffixes for floating constants are: F for float and L for long double; an unsuffixed constant is of type double.

For example: 


/*PRQA S 2017,3112,3121,3198,3408,3447 ++*/

extern double      dba;
extern long double lda;

extern void foo(void)
{
    dba + 5.0F;                /* Message 1261 */
    lda + 5.0F;                /* Message 1261 */

    lda + 5.0 ;                /* Message 1262 */
}
