This is a link analysis check.

Coding standards

This check does not correspond to any coding standard rules.

Code examples

The following code example fails the check and will give a warning:

enum ABC { A, B, C}; /* Not compliant, C not used.*/

int example(enum ABC v) {
  switch (v) {
    case A: return 1;
    case B: return 2;
  } 
}

The following code example passes the check and will not give a warning about this issue:

enum ABC { A, B }; /* Compliant */

int example(enum ABC v) {
  switch (v) {
    case A: return 1;
    case B: return 2;
  } 
}
