Hi all, I've become involved in a group which seeks to refine previous
efforts in both safety-critical and secure coding standards (for example
MISRA and CERT-C). We note that in the past MISRA has been declined for
explicit inclusion in GCC but that parts of it and CERT-C are tested by
individual flags.
For either new standards or existing standards like TS 17961, would the
GCC maintainers be opposed to forming a new option (possibly an option
for --std=) to test for a particular standard, or whatever subset of it
can currently be checked? I expect someone from the our group would
provide patches for the tests.
One of the reasons for asking is that we'd like to remove any barriers
to adoption of our new standard by GCC; in particular, trying to
determine if the new standard not being LGPL or similar would be a problem.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
Jim MacArthur
