Description
This function declares 6 or more parameters (fixed threshold: 6). Long parameter lists are hard to call correctly and often signal that the function does too much or that related arguments should be grouped into a struct. Consider grouping related parameters into a struct or splitting the function.
Rationale
This function declares 6 or more parameters (fixed threshold: 6). Long parameter lists are hard to call correctly and often signal that the function does too much or that related arguments should be grouped into a struct. Consider grouping related parameters into a struct or splitting the function.
The following code illustrates the pattern detected by this rule:
#include <stddef.h>
// FLAGGED: Function has too many parameters (6 or more)
int six(int a, int b, int c, int d, int e, int f) {
return a + b + c + d + e + f;
}
