MISRA C tooling and support at Oakwood
Computing Associates Limited
MISRA C checking:
If you are alarmed by expensive quotations for
something as basic as
MISRA C 1998 and 2004 checking, then look no
further than the Safer C toolset (TM).
Most tool vendors charge you extra but we don't.
The Safer C toolset has the latest MISRA C support
built directly into
SCT Inspector at no extra expense
to help you prepare for upcoming SAE recommendations.
Building on Safer C's unique FIPS160 enforced adherence to
ISO C (the fundamental basis of both MISRA C 1998 and 2004), this includes the
ability to check MISRA C rules individually or in
various combinations of required and advisory, as well as a
highly sophisticated deviation policy support component
which
allows an organisation to deviate rules on an individual basis.
(The deviation policy of MISRA C is particularly important
in using the guidelines in practice both to smooth
acceptance and to handle rules which remain ambiguously
worded at the present time.)
MISRA C education:
Through our MISRA C course, we continue
to assist developers around the world to understand and
employ this important set of guidelines. We also contribute
technical papers on this subject to peer-reviewed journals

Research into MISRA C and safer subsets:
Oakwood Computing Associates continues
to devote considerable resources to the
development and propagation of the MISRA C guidelines.
Staff members contributed to the
translation and explanation of the original MISRA C document
for the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan and
continue to serve on the MISRA C steering committee
which has recently released the 2004 version of its guidelines.
MISRA C exemplary test suite:
In addition, we continue to be involved with the development of
an exemplary test suite for MISRA C in conjunction with
the steering committee. It is hoped that this test suite
will mature eventually into a formal MISRA C validation
suite when the existing wording is clarified in some of
the rules.
