MISRA-C Compliance Check
C program language has a range of advantages for use in embedded software: compiler availability for various microprocessors, an efficient code, support for low-level communication with hardware, portability, etc.
On the other hand, certain factors have a negative effect on the accuracy and quality of the code: the possibility for typographical errors which result in compiler warnings; syntax which enables the writing of clear code but also an illegible coding style; hard to grasp language constructs, for example, complex operator priority rules; incomplete definition in semantics standard of certain parts of the language.
The MISRA (Motor Industry Software Research Association) "Guidelines for the use of the C language in vehicle based software", known as MISRA-C is a set of 127
(MISRA-C 1998) or 140 (MISRA-C 2004) rules that implement a subset of the C language. The guidelines are designed to make C more suitable for use in safety related systems. MISRA-C was originally written for the automotive industry but it is now in widespread across the whole C programming world. MISRA-C is available in book form from www.misra.org.uk. MISRA-C is written in a clear and easily accessible style. The majority of the MISRA-C rules are statically checkable. The DAC analyser
supports MISRA-C 1998 and MISRA-C 2004 (MISRA 2).
