QA·C Help - 0868

	0868	An absolute path has been specified in a #include statement.

Preprocessing

This #include directive appears to refer to an absolute path location.

It is usually wise to avoid explicit path information in the specification of header files and use search paths within the tool configuration instead.

For example:


/*PRQA S 815,816,3211,3408 ++*/

#include <model/abc.h>                /* Message 0843        */
#include "model/abc.h"                /* Message 0843        */

#include </abc.h>                     /* Message 0843 + 0868 */
#include "/abc.h"                     /* Message 0843 + 0868 */

#include <C:/abc.h>                   /* Message 0843 + 0868 */
#include "C:/abc.h"                   /* Message 0843 + 0868 */

#include <model\abc.h>                /* Message 0831        */
#include "model\abc.h"                /* Message 0831        */

#include <\abc.h>                     /* Message 0831 + 0868 */
#include "\abc.h"                     /* Message 0831 + 0868 */

#include <C:\abc.h>                   /* Message 0831 + 0868 */
#include "C:\abc.h"                   /* Message 0831 + 0868 */

#include <C:abc.h>                    /*                     */
#include "C:abc.h"                    /*                     */
