[previous] MISRA-C:2004  Rule  5.7:  (Advisory) [next] No identifier name should be reused.
Regardless of scope, no identifier should be re-used across any files in the system. This rule incorporates the provisions of , , , , and . 

struct air_speed
{
    uint16_t speed; /* knots */
} * x;
struct gnd_speed
{
    uint16_t speed; /* mph                                         */
                    /* Not Compliant - speed is in different units */
} * y;
x->speed = y->speed;

Where an identifier name is used in a header file, and that header file is included in multiple source files, this rule is not violated. The use of a rigorous naming convention can support the implementation of this rule.

No QAC messages cover this rule.
