MISRA C:2012 now available - david ward - 18-03-2013
MISRA is very pleased to today that the next edition of MISRA C Guidelines for the use of the C language in critical systems, to be known as MISRA C:2012, is now available from the MISRA webstore. PDF copies are available to purchase, with print copies available to pre-order with dispatch starting on 8 April 2013.
MISRA C:2012 extends support to the C99 version of the C language (while maintaining guidelines for C90), in addition to including a number of improvements that can reduce the cost and complexity of compliance, whilst aiding consistent, safe use of C in critical systems. Improvements, many of which have been made as a result of user feedback, include: better rationales for every guideline, identified decidability so users can better interpret the output of checking tools, greater granularity of rules to allow more precise control, a number of expanded examples and integration of MISRA AC AGC. A cross reference for ISO 26262 has also been produced.
