C/C++ Coding & Safety Standards Supported by CppDepend
Built-in rule sets for MISRA, CERT, CWE and AUTOSAR — plus custom-rule workflows for ISO 26262, DO-178C, IEC 62304, IEC 61508, JSF++ AV, NIST SSDF and more.
What CppDepend supports out of the box. CppDepend ships built-in rule sets for MISRA C/MISRA C++, CWE, CERT C/CERT C++ and AUTOSAR C++14 — and no other standard. All other standards, including this one, are enforced through custom CQLinq rules that your team writes (with our help if needed), plus architecture validation and CI quality gates.
Safety-critical and regulated software teams need more than good intentions: they need verifiable, tool-enforced compliance. CppDepend ships built-in rule sets for MISRA, CERT, CWE and AUTOSAR — and only those. Every other standard below is enforced through custom CQLinq rules written for your project, plus architecture validation and CI quality gates.
Built-In Rule Sets
Industry & Functional-Safety Standards
These standards are not built into CppDepend — the pages below show how teams enforce them with custom CQLinq rules, architecture validation and audit-ready reporting.
ISO 26262
Functional safety for road vehicles — ASIL-driven static analysis and MISRA enforcement.
DO-178C
Avionics software certification — DAL A–E verification evidence and coding standards.
IEC 62304
Medical device software lifecycle — Class A/B/C architecture and verification.
IEC 61508
Umbrella functional safety — SIL-rated analysis for industrial systems.
JSF++ AV
The fighter-jet C++ coding standard that shaped MISRA C++.
NIST SSDF
SP 800-218 secure development practices for C/C++.
ISO 21434
Automotive cybersecurity engineering across the vehicle lifecycle.
ISO 14971
Risk management for medical devices — code-level risk controls.
Automotive SPICE
Process capability for automotive software — SWE.3/SWE.4 evidence.
PCI DSS
Secure coding for payment systems — requirement 6 compliance.
