AUTOSAR A7-1-3 - False positive on "const" qualifier

MRotaKalpa

I'm using Parasoft C++Test Professional 2023.1 and I'm getting false positives on AUTOSAR Rule A7-1-3 which states that "CV-qualifiers shall be placed on the right hand side of the type that is a typedef or a using name"

Take this example:

#include <cstdint>
#include <typeinfo>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

namespace Utils
{
   enum class UnitType : uint8_t
   {
      OK = 0,
      KO = 1,
   };

   class Test final
   {
      public:
         void setUnitTypeAAA(UnitType const type) noexcept
         {
            m_type = type;
         }

         void setUnitTypeBBB(const UnitType type) noexcept
         {
            m_type = type;
         }

         constexpr UnitType getType() const noexcept
         {
            return m_type;
         }

      private:
         UnitType m_type {UnitType::OK};
   };

}   // namespace Utils

The false positive happens on setUnitTypeAAA which has indeed const on the right hand side.

I understand that the rule checks only a "type that is a typedef or a using name" so I'm ok with setUnitTypeBBB not raising any warning, but why does setUnitTypeAAA does? Shouldn't it be at least ignored / accepted?
Thanks.

I agree, this rule incorrectly reports on setUnitTypeAAA, only the parameter in setUnitTypeBBB should be detected. I reported this to the development team.
