[previous] MISRA-C:2004  Rule  12.10:  (Required) [next] The comma operator shall not be used.
Use of the comma operator is generally detrimental to the readability of code, and the same effect can be achieved by other means.

Example Code: 



/* PRQA S 2984 ++ */

#include "misra.h"
#include "m2cmex.h"

#define A (-5)
#define B 3

extern S16 test_1210( void )
{
   S16 x;
   S16 y;
   S16 i;

   y = ( x = A, x + B );              /* MISRA Violation */

   for ( i = 0, ++y; i < B; ++i )     /* MISRA Violation */
   {
      ++y;
   }

   return y;
}
