[previous] 0702 [next] Result of sizeof operator is not explicitly cast.
Arithmetic type - Operations

The result of the sizeof operator has been used without being explicitly cast.

The value returned by sizeof is of type size_t. Because this type is implementation-defined, some coding standards recommend that the result of sizeof should always be cast to a specific unsigned integral type so as to remove uncertainty.

The type associated with size_t in QAC can be configured using the -intrinsictype option to reflect the type implemented in any particular environment.

For example: 


/*PRQA S 3198,3199,3203,3408 ++*/

struct ST
{
    unsigned short usm;
    unsigned char  uca;
    unsigned char  ucb;
};

extern void foo(void)
{
    unsigned long ula;

    ula = sizeof(struct ST);                            /* Message 0702 */
    ula = (unsigned long)sizeof (struct ST);            /*              */
}
