PI84709: MISRA COMPLIANTSCHEME PROPERTY AFFECTS OTHER MISRA ISSUES IF IT IS SET ON CLASS.

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.3.0

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer found that violates the MISRA Rule if it is set on
  class to automatically generate code.
  The violate rule is that if there is "else if" code there must
  be "else", but no "else" code.
  Misra CompliantScheme property affects other MISRA issues if it
  is set on class,
  and this("else if" generation) case it fails on Class level.
  
  Please refer attached sample project and sample code is as
  below.

Problem conclusion

• The problem is fixed. MisraCompliantScheme property affects code
  generation if it is overridden on separate class. In this case
  "else if" statement is replaced with "else {...}" statement.
