Rule Checker

Fast automatic checks for adherence to coding standards

RuleChecker is a static program analyzer that automatically checks your C or C++ code for compliance with MISRA rules, CERT recom­mendations, and other coding guidelines.

RuleChecker primarily targets safety-critical embedded applications, but can also be used to analyze any structured C programs, handwritten or generated, with complex memory usages, dynamic memory allocation, and recursion.

Features

• Easy configuration, allowing you to toggle individual rules and even specific aspects of certain rules.
• Exceptionally fast analyses for complex real-world programs with hundreds of thousands lines of code.
• Various statistics and code metrics, such as com­ment den­sity or cyclomatic complexity.
• Optional checks for metric thresholds.
• Interactive graphs, charts, and tables for efficient exploration of the analysis results.
• Customizable reports for documentation and certification purposes.

Who uses RuleChecker?

• The global automotive supplier Helbako in Germany is using RuleChecker to de­monstrate MISRA compliance of their elec­tronic control software.

• MTU Friedrichshafen is using RuleChecker to demonstrate the cor­rectness of con­trol software for emer­gency power gene­rators in power plants.

• replaced their legacy tools with Astrée and RuleChecker, resulting in significant savings thanks to faster analyses, higher accuracy, and optimized licensing and support costs.
