Recommendations
EXP00-A. Use parentheses for precedence of operation
EXP01-A. Do not take the size of a pointer to determine the size of the pointed-to type
EXP02-A. The second operands of the logical AND and OR operators should not contain side effects
EXP03-A. Do not assume the size of a structure is the sum of the sizes of its members
EXP04-A. Do not perform byte-by-byte comparisons between structures
EXP05-A. Do not cast away a const qualification
EXP06-A. Operands to the sizeof operator should not contain side effects
EXP07-A. Do not diminish the benefits of constants by assuming their values in expressions
EXP08-A. Ensure pointer arithmetic is used correctly
EXP09-A. Use sizeof to determine the size of a type or variable
EXP11-A. Do not apply operators expecting one type to data of an incompatible type
Rules
EXP30-C. Do not depend on order of evaluation between sequence points
EXP31-C. Avoid side effects in assertions
EXP32-C. Do not cast away a volatile qualification
EXP33-C. Do not reference uninitialized memory
EXP34-C. Ensure a null pointer is not dereferenced
EXP35-C. Do not access or modify the result of a function call after a subsequent sequence point
EXP36-C. Do not convert pointers into more strictly aligned pointer types
EXP37-C. Call functions with the arguments intended by the API
EXP38-C. Do not call offsetof() on bit-field members or invalid types
