[previous] 3760 [next] Implicit conversion: int to unsigned int.
Arithmetic type - Implicit conversions

An expression of type signed int is being implicitly converted to type unsigned int. A conversion of this type is dangerous; the result of converting any negative value will probably be meaningless.

Implicit type conversions of this nature can occur in the context of:


/*PRQA S 2017,3197,3199,3203,3227,3408,3447,3602,3625 ++*/

extern void ef(unsigned int up);

extern unsigned int foo(signed int s)
{
    unsigned int u = s;         /* Message 3760 - Initialization */

    u = s;                      /* Message 3760 - Assignment */

    ef(s);                      /* Message 3760 - Function argument */

    return s;                   /* Message 3960 - Function return */
}
