V5007. OWASP. Consider inspecting the loop expression. It is possible that the 'i' variable should be incremented instead of the 'n' variable.

The analyzer has detected a potential error in a loop: there may be a typo which causes a wrong variable to be incremented/decremented.

For example:

void Foo(float *Array, size_t n)
{
  for (size_t i = 0; i != n; ++n)
  { 
    ....
  }
}

The variable 'n' is incremented instead of the variable 'i'. It results in an unexpected program behavior.

This is the fixed code:

for (size_t i = 0; i != n; ++i)
