Initially published by the Motor Industry Software Reliability Association (MISRA) in 1998, the MISRA-C guidelines are a set of rules to make programs written in the C programming language safer. Designed to help embedded system developers create more reliable code, this standard has since become a widely accepted model for best practices in code development for safety-critical applications in the automotive, medical devices, many other industries. It has also since been updated several times and a parallel set of C++ guidelines added.
