MISRA stands for "Motor Industry Software Reliability Association". IAR has an Embedded Workbench which I believe is a Tester to verify the implementation for the MISRA C rules.
Does KEIL have a such a tool?
If there a PDF document available that spells out the rules. I have search and all I can find are test suites.
"MISRA is bullshit"
That is an extremely foolish attitude.
by simply dismissing it like that out-of-hand, you are certain to learn nothing!
"I'm always looking to improve my coding style"
That's an excellent attitude!
Whether or not you choose to adopt it, an intelligent review of what MISRA (or any other guidance) says should be beneficial.
By looking at what MISRA (or any other guidance) says, and thinking about whether it is good, appropriate and/or worthwile in your particular circumstances you are (almost) bound to learn something!
:-)
MISRA is bullshit
why is you bee thinking that this????
a profffesional programer must learn all tools he can and finde best good ones to use for her job
i reed about it and think about it and learn abot it
sometime a tool you say not gggod is gooder by other me!!!!
i think sir eric can be good right sometime and you have code that is how you sayed it!!
plz dont be destruct commments and construct comment to help other peoples
thankyou
such a statement guarantees that your code is.

I'm always looking to improve my coding style.<p>
MISRA rules shouldn't be considered "good coding style", but a tool to remove some of the ambiguities of C in safety-critical applications.
There are some downright ridiculous rules contained in the MISRA-C standard. Some of them will boil down to "Program shall not contain bugs.", which is pretty much a rule for any program.
Another one, if followed to the letter, would turn a simple
a = b + c++;
into
a = (b + (c++));
There's also a a rule that forbids the use of goto. Have fun trying to exit that triple-nested loop.
Thanks,
I asked the library (at work) to order it. I'm always looking to improve my coding style.
"IAR has an Embedded Workbench which I believe is a Tester to verify the implementation for the MISRA C rules."
IAR's "Embedded Workbench" is their equivalent of Keil's uVision: it's their IDE, so it may well include a conformance tester, but it isn't in itself a conformance tester.
"If there a PDF document available that spells out the rules."
Yes - you have to buy it from MISRA: http://www.misra.org.uk/
Unfotunately, MISRA is one of the old-school standards bodies that insists on charging for its standards :-(
Barry,
Jack Ganssle mentions sending away for that document from MISRA. He talks about some of the rules, their sensibility in the embedded world, and places to get rules checkers in this article from embedded systems design magazine:

PC-Lint from Gimpel Software will check for compliance with MISRA coding style rules -- and do lots of other nice things for you as well.
