LANG.TYPE.INA : Inappropriate Numeric Assignment

Summary

Properties

Misra2004

Misra2004:6.1

The plain char type shall be used only for storage and use of character values

Misra2004:6.2

signed and unsigned char type shall be used only for the storage and use of numeric values

Misra2004:10.1

The value of an expression of integer type shall not be implicitly converted to a different underlying type if: (a) it is not a conversion to a wider integer type of the same signedness, or (b) the expression is complex, or (c) the expression is not constant and is a function argument, or (d) the expression is not constant and is a return expression

Misra2004:10.2

The value of an expression of floating type shall not be implicitly converted to a different type if: (a) it is not a conversion to a wider floating type, or (b) the expression is complex, or (c) the expression is a function argument, or (d) the expression is a return expression

AUTOSARC++14

AUTOSARC++14:M5-0-3

A cvalue expression shall not be implicitly converted to a different underlying type.

AUTOSARC++14:M5-0-5

There shall be no implicit floating-integral conversions.

AUTOSARC++14:M5-0-6

An implicit integral or floating-point conversion shall not reduce the size of the underlying type.

AUTOSARC++14:M5-0-11

The plain char type shall only be used for the storage and use of character values.

AUTOSARC++14:M5-0-12

Signed char and unsigned char type shall only be used for the storage and use of numeric values.

MisraC++2008

MisraC++2008:5-0-3

A cvalue expression shall not be implicitly converted to a different underlying type.

MisraC++2008:5-0-5

There shall be no implicit floating-integral conversions.

MisraC++2008:5-0-6

An implicit integral or floating-point conversion shall not reduce the size of the underlying type.

MisraC++2008:5-0-11

The plain char type shall only be used for the storage and use of character values.

MisraC++2008:5-0-12

signed char and unsigned char type shall only be used for the storage and use of numeric values.

MisraC++2023

MisraC++2023:7.0.6

Assignment between numeric types shall be appropriate

CERT-C

CERT-C:FLP34-C

Ensure that floating-point conversions are within range of the new type

CERT-C:FLP36-C

Preserve precision when converting integral values to floating-point type

CERT-C:STR04-C

Use plain char for characters in the basic character set

JSF++

JSF++:180

Implicit conversions that may result in a loss of information shall not be used.

JSF++:184

Floating point numbers shall not be converted to integers unless such a conversion is a specified algorithmic requirement or is necessary for a hardware interface.

Example

unsigned char u8;

enum Colour : unsigned short { red, green, blue } c;

void TYPE_INA(unsigned long long lli)
{
  u8 = lli; /* 'Inappropriate Numeric Assignment' warning issued here */
  u8 = c;   /* 'Inappropriate Numeric Assignment' warning issued here */
}
