Exactly. It reduced C to, almost, BASIC. Reduces available design patterns. Reduces available language features.
HOWEVER: having a MISRA-C LINT which is required to run on all code that makes it into an automobile is, ultimately, a good thing. Yes, the homogenization is ugly, but it does mean that classes of errors just can't occur.
The concept is great. There is also MISRA C++ of which I know almost nothing; is that any better?
- gte525u 3y agoMISRA C++ lags quite a bit relative to C++'s evolution over the last 20 years. It's closer to JSF C++ style guide.
- bee_rider 3y agoI only wrote a little MISRA-C code, but IIRC we had a process to get waivers which was fairly reasonable I think. BASIC, but with a human-driven process that bumps you back to C when necessary, with the understanding that multiple people look at the evil C-like code, actually seems like a fine language.
