-  Checks for compliance with the safe programming standard [CERT](http://www.cert.org/secure-coding/).
 + [misra.py](https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/blob/main/addons/misra.py) 
   Used to verify compliance with MISRA C 2012 - a proprietary set of guidelines to avoid such questionable code, developed for embedded systems. Since this standard is proprietary, cppcheck does not display error text by specifying only the number of violated rules (for example, [c2012-21.3]). If you want to display full texts for violated rules, you will need to create a text file containing MISRA rules, which you will have to pass when calling the script with `--rule-texts` key. Some examples of rule texts files available in [tests directory](https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/blob/main/addons/test/misra/).
