Creating a Rule for C code
A rule to identify this violation has to be created. "Every file shall have a file header. It should basically detail about information contained in that file in a specific format". Can we try adding a simple python method to do this? or is there a specific node method to be followed. For a template refer attachment

When attempting to generate C++ stubs, especially safe stubs, C++test attempts to compile user hea
Check to make sure the user has not redefined assert.h.

Unrecognized command line option "-m32"
This message occurs because C/C++test will implicitly change the compilation line to add the "-m32" compiler option for some compilers. This is generally not an issue, however sometimes the user is using a compiler that does not support this "-m32" option (This usually means that an "unsupported" compiler is being used.…

Unexpected paths?
Unexpected paths?What, by definition, are 'unexpected paths' ? From what I can tell, the manual does not say. I am speculating that, in the case of an if () {} else {} construct, the 'if' path is the 'expected' one and the 'else' path is the unexpected one. Is this the case? If so, where does this terminology come from?
