The bug report would have looked like below, but I don't have access to "issues" panel.

MISRA addon reports false positives for Rules 8.4 and 17.3

Description

The MISRA addon reports false positives for Rules 8.4 and 17.3 when valid function prototypes or function-pointer calls are present. The issue was identified by comparing cppcheck results with reports generated by our company's internal tool on the same software.

Reproduction

int regression_function(int value);

int regression_function(int value)
{
    return value;
}

int main(void)
{
    int local_prototype(int value);
    int (*callback)(int) = regression_function;

    return callback(0);
}

Run the MISRA addon on this file with Rules 8.4 and 17.3 enabled:

cppcheck --enable=all --addon=addons/misra.py \
  addons/test/misra/misra-regression-prototypes.c

Expected result

No Rule 8.4 or Rule 17.3 violation is reported.

Actual result

The addon reports violations for valid prototype and function-pointer constructs.
