[previous] 3617 [next] Assignment of a struct/union by value.
Arrays, structures, unions and bit-fields

The value of a struct or union is being assigned. Assignment of structs and unions was not always supported in old (K&R) compilers.

For example: 


/*PRQA S 2017,2213,2216,3408,3447 ++*/

struct ST {int a; int b;};


extern struct ST stf(struct ST stp);
extern struct ST stg;

extern struct ST foo(void)
{                                               /* Message 3624 */
    struct ST sta;

    sta = stg;                                  /* Message 3617 */

    stg = stf(sta);                             /* Message 3617 and 3623 */

    return sta;
}
