MISRA AC AGC: Guidelines for the application of MISRA-C:2004 in the context of automatic code generation, ISBN 978-906400-02-6 (PDF), November 2007.

Section 5.1.2 of the MISRA-C:2004 guidelines permits a project to choose whether advisory rules need a formal deviation in the same way as required rules. Section 4.3.2 permits a “Project Deviation” to relax a required rule in specified circumstances. The method by which project deviations are created will differ depending on the organisation and is likely to happen at the start of a project.
