QA·C Help - 1305

	1305	The global object '%s' declared 'const' has external linkage in C but internal linkage in C++.

C++ compatibility

A global object is being declared with the const type qualifier and without either the static or extern storage-class specifier.

In C this specifies external linkage; in C++ it specifies internal linkage.

For example:


/*PRQA S 2200,3207,3211,3408,3602,3603 ++*/

       const int a;                    /* Message 1305 + 1329 */
       const int b = 1;                /* Message 1305        */
static const int c;                    /* Message        1329 */
extern const int d = 1;                /* Message             */

1329 The global object '%s' declared 'const' has been defined without an explicit initializer. This is not allowed in C++.
