PM31547: MISRA_14_3 rule anomaly

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• As per the description of the rule from the MISRA_14_3.rl rule
  file, it states that ?A null statements shall only occur on a
  line by itself, and shall not have any other text on the same
  line?
  Hence I understand that no text is allowed on the same line
  after the null statement. I think the rule works are designed
  when checked for violations against the attached code.
  
  However, I do understand that as per the MISRA guidelines, MISRA
  rule 14.3 states that:
  Before preprocessing, a null statement shall only occur on a
  line by itself; it may be followed by a comment, provided that
  the first character following the null statement is a whitespace
  character.
  
  When the rule is checked for violations against the attached
  code, it does not report violations as expected.
