Safer C++ - MISRA-C++ - 202X Rules and Beyond

Explore the principles of safer C++ programming in this ACCU 2021 conference talk by Peter Sommerlad. Delve into the MISRA-C++:202x rules for the automotive industry, designed to limit C++ to a safer core language. Learn about the potential risks associated with C++ features inherited from C, including undefined behavior and non-portability of implementation-defined behavior. Discover surprising aspects addressed by these rules and understand what warnings to expect from corresponding static analysis tools. Go beyond MISRA-C++ rules to examine safer C++ design principles that cannot be easily checked by analysis tools, such as strong typing and mechanisms that facilitate rule adherence. Gain insights from Peter Sommerlad, a renowned consultant and trainer for Safe Modern C and Agile Software Engineering, as he shares his expertise on creating more secure and reliable C++ code for safety-critical and modern embedded systems.
