V633. The '!=' operator should probably be used here. Consider inspecting the expression.

Jul 20 2012

The analyzer has detected a potential error. The '!=' or '==!' operator should be probably used instead of the '=!' operator. Such errors most often occur through misprints.

Consider an example of incorrect code:

int A, B;
...
if (A =! B)
{
  ...
}

It's most probably that this code should check that the 'A' variable is not equal to 'B'. If so, the correct code should look like follows:

if (A != B)
{
  ...
}

The analyzer accounts for formatting in the expression. That's why if it is exactly assignment you need to perform - not comparison - you should specify it through parentheses or blanks. The following code samples are considered correct:

if (A = !B)
  ...
if (A=(!B))
  ...
