LDRA makes MISRA C:2023 compliance accessible
Summary
Guided by MISRA C Working Group chairman and LDRA technical specialist Andrew Banks, LDRA’s new capabilities support embedded developers in aerospace, defense, industrial and energy, medical device and automotive sectors to identify and mitigate potentially dangerous code in increasingly complex and difficult-to-test multithreaded, multi-processor systems. Introduced in 1998, MISRA C is the standard for developing software in the C programming language where safety, security and code quality are essential. “In addition to playing a significant role in developing the guidelines themselves, we have been hard at work ensuring that our static analysis tools include the capabilities necessary to identify, report and remediate critical coding flaws in multithreading, multi-processor systems. With support for all versions of the MISRA guidelines, the LDRA tool suite: • Employs static analysis to identify areas of non-conformant code to aid documentation and modification. • Facilitates structural coverage analysis to ensure developers can measure and maintain the amount of tested code, as recommended by the MISRA guidelines.
