QA·C Help - 2201

	2201	This indentation is not consistent with previous indentation in this file.

Bracing and Indentation

The indentation of this line is inconsistent with the indentation that has been used previously.

QAC can be configured to enforce a specific level of indentation (for example 2,3,4 spaces etc.) using the -indentlevel option. If this option is not used, or specifies an indentation of 0 spaces, QAC does not enforce a specific number of spaces but will instead identify indentation that is simply "inconsistent". The level of indentation is established by examining the initial lines of the file. Subsequent inconsistencies are then identified with message 2201.

For example:


/*PRQA S 2017,3120,3199,3408 ++*/

extern void f1(int x)
{
    if (x > 0)          /* Four spaces used for indentation ... */
    {
     x++;               /* Message 2201 */
      x++;              /* Message 2201 */
       x++;             /* Message 2201 */
        x++;            /*              */
         x++;           /* Message 2201 */
          x++;          /* Message 2201 */
    }

 if (x > 10)            /* Message 2201 */
 {
  x++;                  /* Message 2201 */
   x++;                 /* Message 2201 */
    x++;                /* Message 2201 */
     x++;               /*              */
      x++;              /* Message 2201 */
       x++;             /* Message 2201 */
 }
}
