It is clear that implementing the MISRA code guidelines costs a lot in training, and that it bloats source code to some extent. Do the guidelines provide more benefit than their cost? I am somewhat sceptical about these benefits.
The MISRA guidelines have been in use for around a decade. There will thus surely have been some studies undertaken that demonstrate that the MISRA guidelines work, for some value of \"work\". Or, more accurately put, that determine in which circumstances they are useful and in which they are not.
I am disappointed not to be able to find any references to these studies on the MISRA web site. I wasn't able to find any with an internet search (though my googling skills are not that good).
Would somebody please point out these studies to me?
Thanks in advance!
