   Info
   title Suppressing false positives in MISRA compliance workflows
   If you implement a workflow for achieving compliance with the MISRA standard, you can exclude false positive violations from MISRA Compliance reports created on DTP. When you suppress a violation and specify a reason for suppression that begins with "false positive", the violation will not be included in MISRA Compliance reports. See the DTP User Guide for details about the Parasoft compliance solution

In-file Suppressions

If you choose to store a suppression in a file, it will be stored in a parasoft.suppress file created in the same location as the source file that contains the finding. When you add a suppression, the file automatically opens in the IDE editor. The contents of the file may resemble the following:

suppression-begin
file: Simple.cpp
rule-id: SECURITY-22
message: Do not use mbstowcs() function
reason: verified
author: annstu
suppression-end

suppression-begin
file: Account.cpp
rule-id: JSF-043
message: Tabs should be avoided
reason: verified
author: annstu
suppression-end

See Defining Suppressions in Suppression Files for details about the suppression format and the complete list of available attributes.

...

1. Enable the Show All Files option on the Visual Studio Solution Explorer toolbar or refresh the Solution Explorer if the option is already enabled. This will display files from outside the project, including the Parasoft suppression files.
2. Right-click the suppression file(s) you add to your project and choose Include in Project from the menu.

If you use a source control system to track changes in source code, we recommend that you check in parasoft.suppress files to share your suppressions across the team.

Reviewing Suppressions

You can review suppressed findings and unsuppress the findings that have been saved locally on desktop.
