CppDepend 2025 is here — and it’s built to help you take control of modern C++ development with MISRA C++ 2023 support fully integrated.
In a time where projects are growing rapidly and AI-generated code is entering the picture, ensuring code safety, readability, and compliance has never been more critical.
The latest version of CppDepend empowers teams to:
✅ Validate C++ code against MISRA C++ 2023
✅ Catch risky or non-compliant patterns early
✅ Enforce clean code principles across large teams
✅ Automate compliance checks in CI/CD pipelines
✅ Gain clarity and control over both human and AI-generated code
Whether you’re working in automotive, embedded, finance, or any C++-heavy industry, CppDepend 2025 + MISRA C++ 2023 is your foundation for safe, clean, and future-proof C++.
MISRA C++:2023 is the latest update of the MISRA (Motor Industry Software Reliability Association) standard for safe and secure C++ programming. It replaces the older MISRA C++:2008 and brings the guidance up to date with modern C++ practices, including support for C++17 and partial support for C++20.
Originally developed for safety-critical systems in automotive and aerospace industries, MISRA is now widely adopted in finance, medical, robotics, and defense due to its rigorous approach to code safety, predictability, and readability.
What’s New in MISRA C++ 2023?
Here are the key updates compared to MISRA C++:2008:
1- Modern C++ Support
- Incorporates features up to C++17, and starts addressing C++20 features.
- Safer constructs like
auto,constexpr, smart pointers, and range-based for-loops are handled more effectively.
2- Enhanced Safety and Security Rules
- Many new rules focus on memory safety, exception safety, and type safety.
- Rules help mitigate common vulnerabilities like buffer overflows, undefined behavior, and data races.
3- Structured and Modular Guidelines
- Rules are now categorized by concern: safety, security, portability, and maintainability.
- Clear traceability between rules and software engineering goals.
4- Better Rule Clarity
- Improved rule phrasing and formalized “decidability”: whether a rule can be automatically enforced (decidable) or needs human review (undecidable).
- Rules now indicate whether they are Mandatory, Required, or Advisory.
5- Alignment with Other Standards
Improved traceability to security standards like CWE and ISO/IEC 27001.
Harmonized with AUTOSAR C++14, CERT C++, and ISO/IEC TS 17961 for broader compatibility across tools and ecosystems.
