Recommendations
MSC00-C. Compile cleanly at high warning levels
MSC01-C. Strive for logical completeness
MSC02-C. Avoid errors of omission
MSC03-C. Avoid errors of addition
MSC04-C. Use comments consistently and in a readable fashion
MSC05-C. Do not manipulate time_t typed values directly
MSC06-C. Be aware of compiler optimization when dealing with sensitive data
MSC07-C. Detect and remove dead code
MSC08-C. Library functions should validate their parameters
MSC09-C. Character Encoding - Use Subset of ASCII for Safety
MSC10-C. Character Encoding - UTF8 Related Issues
MSC11-C. Incorporate diagnostic tests using assertions
MSC12-C. Detect and remove code that has no effect
MSC13-C. Detect and remove unused values
MSC14-C. Do not introduce unnecessary platform dependencies
MSC15-C. Do not depend on undefined behavior
MSC16-C. Consider encrypting function pointers
MSC17-C. Finish every set of statements associated with a case label with a break statement
MSC18-C. Use srand() before rand() to generate different sequences of pseudorandom numbers
Rules
MSC30-C. Do not use the rand() function for generating pseudorandom numbers
MSC31-C. Ensure that return values are compared against the proper type
