I think it's worth observing that a number of these are just common-sense guidelines for good programming practice, rather than being specific to C++. For example: "Use exceptions for error handling only" "Avoid data races" "Prefer a for-statement to a while-statement when there is an obvious loop variable" "Don't pass structured data as strings" "Eliminate redundant indirections" (for performance) and so on. These don't really lend themselves to automatic checking, but it's still nice to see them written down in one place along with the more language-specific stuff.
