Group struct field definitions cc4m_logo_inline
IDSTAT-13
TitleAll fields of a struct shall be defined in a single, contiguous block of code.
PriorityStrongly recommended
Severity level6 when the code is meant for code generation, otherwise 9
DescriptionNo fields shall be added to a struct after using it.
RationaleLines of code or functions using the struct might assume that all fields are already there, resulting in an error if the field is not there.

Avoid:

s = struct("f", 2, "g", 3);

computeCost(s);
s.h = 'new field';

Instead use:

s = struct("f", 2, "g", 3, "h", 'new field');

computeCost(s);
