Let’s meet at embedded world 2025

Visit BUGSENG in Hall 4, Booth 548. You’ll find us at the booth with our partner Solid Sands. It’s the perfect place to discover solutions for the validation and qualification of tools, libraries, and compilers. Throughout the event, we’ll be hosting short talks on topics like C-rusted, MISRA compliance, freedom from interference, requirements management, and more. Plus, you’re always welcome to sit down with our experts for a demo of our static analysis tool, ECLAIR, or just to chat about your projects. And don’t forget, BUGSENG also offers advanced consulting and training services. We’d love to connect!

When: Thursday, 13 March 2025 | 10:00-10:30 am
Session: 5.7 MISRA SW Coding Guidelines
Title: C, Rust, C-rusted and MISRA for Safe and Secure Embedded Software

Abstract:

C has long been the dominant programming language for embedded systems due to its efficiency, portability, and close-to-hardware capabilities. However, C’s low-level memory management and absence of strong safety guarantees expose it to common vulnerabilities such as out-of-bounds accesses, null or invalid pointer dereferencing and memory leaks. To mitigate risks associated with C’s flexibility and potential for misuse, the MISRA guidelines became a de facto standard in all sectors where safety and security are crucial. Nonetheless, the embedded systems community, following a trend common to the entire IT world, has been exploring alternatives like Rust. Rust’s design inherently reduces the likelihood of common programming errors seen in C, making it an appealing choice for safety- and security-critical embedded software. However, transitioning from C to Rust is not without challenges and hence proposals, such as C-rusted, that can provide a gradual migration path with the same guarantees of Rust but in standard C, are particularly interesting. This presentation features a comparative analysis of C, Rust, C-rusted and the MISRA guidelines (including the potential for a possible MISRA Rust coding standard), with a focus on their implications for embedded software safety and security. We discuss the respective strengths, limitations and use cases, offering insights into how organizations can choose and apply these tools and methodologies based on specific project requirements.
