MISRA.FOR.COUNTER.MANY

For loop counter is missing, has floating point type, or there is more than one loop counter.

MISRA-C++ Rule 6-5-1 (required): A for loop shall contain a single loop-counter which shall not have floating type.

This rule is also covered by MISRA.FOR.COUNTER.FLT.

Rationale

A for loop without exactly one loop-counter is simply a while loop. If this is the desired behaviour, then a while loop is more appropriate.

Example

y = 0;
for ( x = 0; x < y; x = y++ ) // Non-compliant
