LDRA tool suite to support the new MISRA-C++:2008 standard
(Technology News, 04 Feb 2008 )
LDRA has enhanced the capabilities of the LDRA tool suite to comply with the soon to be released MISRA-C++:2008 standard from the Motor Industry Software Reliability Association (MISRA). The support for MISRA-C++:2008 complements the LDRA tool suite’s existing enforcement support for the MISRA-C:1998 and MISRA-C:2004, HIS (Herstellerinitiative Software) and GJB (Chinese Military Standard) standards for the C programming language.
MISRA is a collaboration between automotive manufacturers, component suppliers and engineering consultancies which seeks to promote best practice and commonality in the development of safety-related automotive electronic and other embedded systems through the publication of standard guidelines. Since its launch, the success of MISRA-C as a “best practice” solution has not only seen its application spread throughout the worldwide automotive industry but also increasingly adopted for safety-related and safety-critical software development projects and applications in a wide variety of other industries including the rail, aerospace, military and medical sectors.
With the success of the MISRA-C standard, a MISRA-C++ committee was established in 2005 to work towards the creation of standard MISRA guidelines for the C++ programming language. As a long-standing MISRA committee member, LDRA has been closely involved with the development of the new MISRA-C++:2008 standard, facilitating its early support in the LDRA tool suite.
