C static code analysis (2024)

The use of increment and decrement operators in method calls or in combination with other arithmetic operators is not recommended, because:

• It can significantly impair the readability of the code.
• It introduces additional side effects into a statement, with the potential for undefined behavior.
• It is safer to use these operators in isolation from any other arithmetic operators.

Noncompliant code example

u8a = ++u8b + u8c--;foo = bar++ / 4;

Compliant solution

The following sequence is clearer and therefore safer:

++u8b;u8a = u8b + u8c;u8c--;foo = bar / 4;bar++;
