[previous] 2204 [next] '%s' is not aligned to match its controlling 'switch' statement.
Bracing and Indentation

This switch case label is not aligned with the controlling switch statement.

The Plum Hall C Programming Guidelines recommend that 'case' statements should be aligned to match the controlling 'switch' statement in all three common bracing styles (exdented, indented and K&R).

For example: 


/*PRQA S 2017,3120,3198,3199,3203,3227,3408 ++*/

extern void foo(int n)
{
    int r;

    switch (n)
    {
    case 1:                     /* OK           */
        r = 2;
        break;

     case 2:                    /* Message 2204 */
        r = 3;
        break;

      case 3:                   /* Message 2204 */
        r = 4;
        break;

       case 4:                  /* Message 2204 */
        r = 5;
        break;

    default:                    /* OK           */
        r = 0;
        break;
    }

}
