AUTOSAR C++14 Rule M8-4-2

The identifiers used for the parameters in a re-declaration of a function shall be identical to those in the declaration

Description

Rule Definition

The identifiers used for the parameters in a re-declaration of a function shall be identical to those in the declaration.

Polyspace Implementation

The checker detects mismatch in parameter names between:

  • A function declaration and the corresponding definition.

  • Two declarations of a function, provided they occur in the same file.

    If the declarations occur in different files, the checker does not raise a violation for mismatch in parameter names. Redeclarations in different files are forbidden by AUTOSAR C++14 Rule M3-2-3.

Troubleshooting

If you expect a rule violation but Polyspace® does not report it, see Diagnose Why Coding Standard Violations Do Not Appear as Expected.
