[previous] 1842 [next] The %1s operand is constant, 'essentially signed' (%2s) and non-negative but will be implicitly converted to an unsigned type (%3s) in this relational operation.
Arithmetic type - Balancing

This message is issued whenever a constant expression of essentially signed type with a non-negative value has been used as an operand of a relational operator, and undergoes a usual arithmetic conversion to an unsigned integer type (the type of the other operand).

For example: 


/*PRQA S 1-9999 ++*/
/*PRQA S 1842 --*/

void f1842 (unsigned b)
{
  if (b < 1)                /* 1842 */
  {
  }

  if ((2 - 1) >= b)         /* 1842 */
  {
  }
}
