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 has been renamed APP00-C. 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. Be careful while handling sensitive data, such as passwords, in program code
MSC19-C. For functions that return an array, prefer returning an empty array over a null value
MSC20-C. Do not use a switch statement to transfer control into a complex block
MSC21-C. Use inequality to terminate a loop whose counter changes by more than one
MSC22-C. Always provide feedback about the resulting value of a method
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
MSC32-C. Ensure your random number generator is properly seeded
MSC33-C. Do not pass invalid data to the asctime() function
MSC34-C. Do not use deprecated or obsolescent functions
