The latest version of C-STAT adds coverage for MISRA C:2012 Amendment 1.
C-STAT performs advanced code analysis to find potential issues and provides code alignment with industry standards like MISRA C:2012, MISRA C++:2008 and MISRA C:2004. It also detects defects, bugs, and security vulnerabilities as defined by the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) and CERT C.
In addition to this broad compliance, the updated version of C-STAT extends its coverage for the MISRA C:2012 Coding Standard through complete support for the MISRA C:2012, Amendment 1. This Amendment adds 14 additional rules to MISRA C:2012 with a focus on security concerns highlighted by the ISO C Secure Guidelines. Several of these rules address specific issues relating to the use of untrustworthy data, a well-known security vulnerability in many embedded applications.
“Since the launch of C-STAT five years ago, we have refined the technology according to customers’ requests, lately with a special focus on security through complete CERT C compliance launched earlier in 2020,” said Anders Holmberg, General Manager Embedded Development Tools, IAR Systems. “By adding coverage for MISRA C:2012, Amendment 1, we help our customers even further to ensure secure, high-quality code at an early stage of their projects.”
