MISRA C is a software development standard for the C programming language developed by MISRA (Motor Industry Software Reliability Association). Its aims are to facilitate code safety, portability and reliability in the context of embedded systems, specifically those systems programmed in ISO C. There is also a set of guidelines for MISRA C++.
However, there are now more MISRA users outside of the automotive industry than in it: "MISRA has evolved as a widely accepted model for best practices by leading developers in sectors including aerospace, telecom, medical devices, defense, railway, and others." [1][2][3]
The first edition of the MISRA C standard, "Guidelines for the use of the C language in vehicle based software", was produced in 1998, and is officially known as MISRA-C:1998.[4]
In 2004, a second edition "Guidelines for the use of the C language in critical systems", or MISRA-C:2004 was produced, with many substantial changes to the guidelines, including a complete renumbering of the rules.
Work has just started on the next revision of the guidelines, which are intended to address use of C99.
As with many standards (eg ISO, BSI Group, RTCA, Incorporated et al) the MISRA C guideline documents are not free to users or implementors. Read more: Wikipedia
