Guideline

DCL30-C. Declare objects with appropriate storage durations
DCL36-C. Do not declare an identifier with conflicting linkage classifications
EXP30-C. Do not depend on the order of evaluation for side effects
EXP33-C. Do not read uninitialized memory
EXP34-C. Do not dereference null pointers
EXP35-C. Do not modify objects with temporary lifetime
ARR38-C. Guarantee that library functions do not form invalid pointers
STR30-C. Do not attempt to modify string literals
STR31-C. Guarantee that storage for strings has sufficient space for character data and the null terminator
MEM30-C. Do not access freed memory
MEM31-C. Free dynamically allocated memory when no longer needed
MEM35-C. Allocate sufficient memory for an object
FIO30-C. Exclude user input from format strings
FIO34-C. Distinguish between characters read from a file and EOF or WEOF
SIG30-C. Call only asynchronous-safe functions within signal handlers
ARR01-C. Do not apply the sizeof operator to a pointer when taking the size of an array
DCL01-C. Do not reuse variable names in subscopes
DCL15-C. Declare file-scope objects or functions that do not need external linkage as static
EXP12-C. Do not ignore values returned by functions
FLP06-C. Convert integers to floating point for floating-point operations
INT01-C. Use rsizesize_t or sizersize_t for all integer values representing the size of an object
INT07-C. Use only explicitly signed or unsigned char type for numeric values
INT13-C. Use bitwise operators only on unsigned operands
STR11-C. Do not specify the bound of a character array initialized with a string literal
-standard MSC12-C. Detect and remove code that has no effect or is never executed
Can detect violations of this recommendation when the -Wunreachable-code flag is used MSC07-C. Detect and remove dead code
