Using C++ on Mission and Safety Critical Platforms
summary
Covers the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) C++ coding standard used for safety- and mission-critical embedded software on a major DoD aircraft program. Describes the standard’s requirements and how it evolved, contrasts it with later standards like MISRA C++, and reports lessons learned from nine years of applying the standard, including ambiguities in rules and challenges with automated conformance checking (static analysis).
