Enumeration_Ranges_In_CASE_Statements
Flag each use of a range of enumeration literals as a choice in a
case
statement.
All forms for specifying a range (explicit ranges
such as A .. B
, subtype marks and 'Range
attributes) are flagged.
An enumeration range is
flagged even if contains exactly one enumeration value or no values at all. A
type derived from an enumeration type is considered as an enumeration type.
This rule helps prevent maintenance problems arising from adding an
enumeration value to a type and having it implicitly handled by an existing
case
statement with an enumeration range that includes the new literal.
This rule has no parameters.
