Learn MISRA-C-AVIONICS with Real Code Examples

Rule compliance may limit some optimization techniques

Static analysis overhead is minimal but must be integrated into build

Predictable memory and control flow improve runtime performance

Avoid undefined behavior for consistent execution on target hardware

Optimization flags in compiler should respect MISRA guidelines

Safe coding reduces vulnerabilities in avionics systems

Avoid unsafe functions (strcpy, sprintf) in favor of bounded alternatives

Formal verification of deviations ensures no hidden risk

Follow defensive coding practices

Monitor third-party libraries for MISRA compliance

Track compliance reports for all modules

Monitor deviation justifications

Integrate with build and CI pipelines

Review runtime logs for adherence to safe behavior

Audit code for certification readiness

Strict adherence to MISRA rules

Comprehensive commenting and documentation

Consistent naming and formatting

Modular and reusable code structures

Regular code reviews and static analysis
