[previous] 0422 [next] [C] Function call contains fewer arguments than prototype specifies.
Constraint violations REFERENCE - ISO:C90-6.3.2.2 Function calls

This is a constraint error

A function is being called with fewer arguments than are specified in a preceding prototype declaration. This is a language constraint violation and is very dangerous as it may lead to corruption of the stack. For example: 


/*PRQA S 3199,3203,3227,3408 ++*/

int foo(int a, int b);

void test(int x)
{
    int ret;

    ret = foo(x);              /* Message 0422 */
}

MISRA C:2012 Rules applicable to message 0422:

Rule-1.1  (Required) The program shall contain no violations of the standard C syntax and constraints, and shall not exceed the implementation's translation limits
