Welcome to the MISRA discussion forum

I am not sure, if this potential problem is categorized under any MISRA rules??

Dear colleagues,
I am trying to find in the web the MISRA subset for HIS with no success.
Does anybody know where it is possible to get these files / list of rules?

Thanks in advance,

Ricardo

If one were to use the strategy of defining all the constants used within a file at the top of the file, either as static const or in an unnamed namespace, but some of the constants are used in multiple places and others are only used in single places, then those that are only used in single places will violate Rule 3-4-1.

If those that are used only in single places are subsequently moved into blocks with reduced scope, then the constants are scattered around the file.

This could create a maintenance headache because it is more difficult for a developer to find a constant.

Furthermore, if a developer needs to use a singly-used constant now in another place, they might not realise that the constant has already been defined (and then widen its scope) but instead add in a new singly-used constant of reduced scope in the new place.

It there some way to put all of the defined constants into a well-known location, but then not violate Rule 3-4-1 for the singly-used ones?

Dear all

While doing a memory audit of our framework for autonomous driving cars we realized that throwing any kind of exception dynamically allocates memory on compilers using the Itanium C++ ABI (notably gcc and clang). Further, throwing an exception may block for which is not acceptable for safety-critical real-time systems.

Neither Misra 2008 nor Autosar 14 or other guidelines forbid exceptions in safety-critical environments. What were the considerations when investigating this issue?

To solve this issue we created a library which replaces the dynamic memory allocation with a memory pool. This library is freely available here: https://github.com/ApexAI/static_exception

Any inputs or other approaches would be very welcome!

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi,

as stated here (https://misra.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php...1504#p3404) the next version of MISRA C++ will be based on ISO C++14.
I am curious if you already came to a decision on whether to allow or prohibit the auto keyword for automatic type deduction?
While it is certainly more convenient to write code, i would imagine performing a code review or adapting a static analysis tool would become more challenging.

Hello all,

I've an error 10.1 on the following C code:

Is MISRA going to release a new version for C++14 anytime soon?
If so, what does the timeline look like and when it's going to be made available to public?

All you have to do is check the syntax/keywords against the C language standard?
It is even possible with some compilers (e.g. a strict mode)?

Are conversions between pointers to void and pointers to object types a violation of rule 5-2-7? It isn't clear what "object with pointer type" means here (or "unrelated pointer type" for that matter). Specifically, are either of the casts below a violation of Rule 5-2-7?

Hello,

With respect to the essential type rules, do conversions to types that are outside the essential type categories count as violations of the rules? For example:
