> >
> > MISRA is pleased to announce the availability of the
> > following new resources for MISRA C:
> >
> > * Exemplar Suite
> > * Technical Clarification 1 for MISRA-C:2004.
> >
> > The Exemplar Suite is a collection of over 200 code examples
> > that are intended to illustrate the use of the MISRA C rules,
> > through examples of compliant and non-compliant code. Please
> > note that it is not a compliance or conformance test suite,
> > since considerably more examples would also be needed in such
> > a suite. Also MISRA does not offer compliance or conformance
> > testing for tools or products.
> >
> > Use of the Exemplar Suite is free to individual users. Any
> > tool vendors who wish to distribute the suite with their
> > product may do so on payment of a license fee. Please enquire
> > for details.
> >
> > The Technical Clarification has been developed based on
> > questions asked by MISRA C users on the Forum and also that
> > have arisen during the development of the Exemplar Suite. It
> > provides amendments to the current version of MISRA C and is
> > designed to be used in conjunction with a copy of MISRA-C:2004.
