  • Language Subsetting in an Industrial Context: a Comparison of MISRA C 1998 and MISRA C 2004

    Language Subsetting in an Industrial Context: a Comparison of MISRA C 1998 and MISRA C 2004

    Language subsetting in an industrial context: a comparison of MISRA C 1998 and MISRA C 2004 Les Hatton CISM, University of Kingston∗ November 20, 2005 Abstract The MISRA C standard [7] first appeared in 1998 with the objective of providing a set of guidelines to restrict features in the ISO C language of known undefined or otherwise dangerous behaviour. The standard was assembled by representatives of a number of companies in the automobile sector in response to the rapidly growing use of C in electronic embedded systems in automobiles. The standard attempts to build on the earlier work of [6], [3] and others. Due to various perceived deficiencies, notably considerable ambiguity in the rule definitions, a revision was planned and eventually appeared in 2004. This paper measures how well the two stan- dards compare on the same population of software and also determines how well the 2004 version achieved its stated goals. Given its increasing influence, the results raise important concerns. Keywords: safer subsets, MISRA C, embedded control systems 1 Overview Pragmatic safer subsetting of languages to remove dependence on poorly defined features is finally becoming a mainstream activity with the recent recommen- dation to form a high-integrity study group under the auspices of the ISO, [8] with the intention of producing sets of rules to restrict features with undefined or otherwise dangerous behaviour in programming languages in common use. It frequently comes as a surprise to developers that significant parts of a pro- gramming language can fall into this category. In practice, all standardised programming languages contain problematic features for a variety of reasons which include the inability of the standardising committee to agree on the be- haviour of a particular feature, the use of unintentionally ambiguous language in the standards document itself, omitting to say anything at all and so on.

    Contents of Lecture 4: Declarations

    Contents of Lecture 4: Declarations Implicint int Storage class specifiers Type specifiers Enumeration specifiers Type qualifiers Jonas Skeppstedt ([email protected]) Lecture 4 2014 1 / 39 Now obsolete: implicit int Sometimes you can see code such as: main() // invalid { } or even: #include <stdio.h> count; // invalid float x; In earlier versions of C one could skip the type, which then became int, and is called implicit int. Calling a function before its declaration also set its return type to int. It’s invalid C so don’t use it — but compilers often allow it... Jonas Skeppstedt ([email protected]) Lecture 4 2014 2 / 39 Storage class specifiers Last lecture we discussed the different kinds of storage durations. Now we will see how to specify some of them explicitly. Dynamic (important) and temporary (less important) storage duration are not specified by the programmer using any particular syntax but defined by the standard. The storage class specifiers are: typedef extern static _Thread_local auto register Of these typedef does not refer to any kind of storage duration — instead it introduces another name of a type and not a new type: typedef int num_t; int* p; num_t* q; p = q; // valid since p and q have the same type. Jonas Skeppstedt ([email protected]) Lecture 4 2014 3 / 39 Storage class specifiers: static at file scope static int count; /∗ initialized to zero. ∗/ static void init(void) { /∗ Do some initializations ... ∗/ } Used to make an identifier invisible outside the source file With static at file scope, there is no risk of name conflicts with other files.

    ACCU 2015 “New” Features in C

    "New" Features in C ACCU 2015 “New” Features in C Dan Saks Saks & Associates www.dansaks.com 1 Abstract The first international standard for the C programming language was C90. Since then, two newer standards have been published, C99 and C11. C99 introduced a significant number of new features. C11 introduced a few more, some of which have been available in compilers for some time. Curiously, many of these added features don’t seem to have caught on. Many C programmers still program in C90. This session explains many of these “new” features, including declarations in for-statements, typedef redefinitions, inline functions, complex arithmetic, extended integer types, variable- length arrays, flexible array members, compound literals, designated initializers, restricted pointers, type-qualified array parameters, anonymous structures and unions, alignment support, non-returning functions, and static assertions. 2 Copyright © 2015 by Daniel Saks 1 "New" Features in C About Dan Saks Dan Saks is the president of Saks & Associates, which offers training and consulting in C and C++ and their use in developing embedded systems.

    MISRA-C Subset of the C Language for Critical Systems SAFETY-CRITICAL SYSTEMS

    MISRA-C Subset of the C language for critical systems SAFETY-CRITICAL SYSTEMS System is safety-critical if people might die due to software bugs Examples Automobile stability / traction control Medical automation Many military applications You develop safety-critical software differently from non-critical software MISRA-C MISRA – Motor Industry Software Reliability Association Their bright idea: Can’t avoid C But can force developers to avoid features of C that are known to be problematic Some language flaws Some legitimate features that happen to be bad for embedded software Most of MISRA-C is just good common sense for any C programmer TERMINOLOGY Execution error: Something illegal done by a program Out-of-bounds array reference Divide by zero Uninitialized variable usage Trapped execution error: Immediately results in exception or program termination Untrapped execution error: Program keeps running But may fail in an unexpected way later on E.g., due to corrupted RAM In C, operations with undefined behavior are not trapped SAFETY A safe language does not allow untrapped execution errors A statically safe language catches all execution errors at compile time Useful languages can’t be completely statically safe Java is dynamically safe C and C++ are very unsafe MISRA C is not safe either However, adherence to MISRA-C can largely be statically checked This eliminates or reduces the likelihood of some kinds of untrapped execution errors MISRA-C RULE 1.2 No reliance shall be placed on undefined or unspecified behavior. Lots of things in C have undefined behavior Divide by zero Out-of-bounds memory access Signed integer overflow Lots of things in C have implementation-defined and unspecified behavior printf (“a”) + printf (“b”); Both of these hard to detect at compile time, in general Implementation-defined behavior is fine in MISRA-C Why? MISRA-C RULE 5.2 Identifiers in an inner scope shall not use the same name as an identifier in an outer scope, and therefore hide that identifier.

There are many different open source real-time operating systems available and the use of open source software for safety-critical applications is considered highly interesting by industries such as medical, aerospace and automotive as it enables a shorter time to market and lower development costs. If one would like to use open source software in a safety-critical context one would have to provide evidence that the software being used fulfills the requirement put forth by the industry specific standard for functional safety, such as the ISO 26262 standard for the automotive industry.
