Recommendations
MSC00-A. Compile cleanly at high warning levels
MSC01-A. Strive for logical completeness
MSC02-A. Avoid errors of omission
MSC03-A. Avoid errors of addition
MSC04-A. Use comments consistently and in a readable fashion
MSC05-A. Do not manipulate time_t typed values directly
MSC06-A. Be aware of compiler optimization when dealing with sensitive data
MSC07-A. Detect and remove dead code
MSC08-A. Library functions should validate their parameters
MSC09-A. Character Encoding - Use Subset of ASCII for Safety
MSC10-A. Character Encoding - UTF8 Related Issues
MSC11-A. Incorporate diagnostic tests using assertions
MSC12-A. Detect and remove code that has no effect
MSC13-A. Detect and remove unused values
MSC14-A. Do not introduce unnecessary platform dependencies
MSC15-A. Do not depend on undefined behavior
MSC16-A. Limit access to the filesystem by creating a jail
Rules
MSC30-C. Do not use the rand() function for generating pseudorandom numbers
