LDRA tool suite supports MISRA-C++:2008 standard

LDRA has enhanced the capabilities of its software tool suite to comply with the soon to be released MISRA-C++:2008 standard from the Motor Industry Software Reliability Association (MISRA). The support for MISRA-C++:2008 complements the LDRA tool suite’s existing enforcement support for MISRA-C:1998, MISRA-C:2004, HIS (Herstellerinitiative Software), and GJB (Chinese Military Standard) standards for the C programming language.

MISRA is a collaboration between automotive manufacturers, component suppliers, and engineering consultancies that seeks to promote best practice and commonality in the development of safety-related automotive electronic and other embedded systems through the publication of standard guidelines. Since its launch, the success of MISRA-C as a best practice solution has not only seen its application spread throughout the worldwide automotive industry, but also increasingly adopted for safety-related and safety-critical software development projects and applications in a wide variety of other industries, including the rail, aerospace, military, and medical sectors.

A MISRA-C++ committee was established in 2005 to work towards the creation of standard MISRA guidelines for the C++ programming language. As a long-standing MISRA committee member, LDRA has been closely involved with the development of the new MISRA-C++:2008 standard, facilitating its early support in the LDRA tool suite.
