Introduction to C Rules and Recommendations

Some of the CERT C Coding Standard's rules and recommendations are applicable to developing Android applications, as native code. Our latest published edition of rules and recommendations for C is a free and publicly-available downloadable document in the CERT C Coding Standard, 2016 Edition , and our latest published edition including C++ is the Secure Coding in C and C++, 2nd Edition . Development of the standards continues on this wiki . Not all of the coding standard is applicable to the Android environment. We have performed an initial analysis of Android applicability of the C coding rules and recommendations, here . The analysis is presented in a chart form, and each rule or recommendation listed in the chart is hyperlinked to its full wiki page. For each C rule or recommendation found to require Android-specific implementation advice, that advice is provided in a column of the analysis chart.
