QA·C Help - 4608

	4608	The tag '%1s' is also defined in '<%2s>'.

Identifiers		REFERENCE - ISO:C90-7.1.2.1 Reserved Identifiers, ISO:C99-7.1.3 Reserved Identifiers

This is a reserved identifier. A tag of the same name is declared in the specified library header file.

This is dangerous if the declarations are not consistent. Even if they are, it may still be wiser to declare the tag using the relevant library header file.

For example:


/*PRQA S 553,2017,2213,2216 ++*/

struct tm { int a; int b; };           /* Message 4608 - "tm" is the name of a tag declared in <time.h> */
