MISRA C++

MISRA C++ is a software development standard for the C++ programming language developed by MISRA. Its aims are to facilitate reliability in the context of embedded systems, specifically those systems programmed in C++. There is also a set of guidelines known as MISRA C.

The first edition of the MISRA C++ document, "Guidelines for the use of the C++ language in critical systems", was launched in June 2008, and is officially known as "MISRA-C++:2008" [http://www.misra-cpp.org/] . It is available from MISRA. [ [http://www.misra-cpp.org/index.htm "Buying MISRA C++"] ]
