C
- DCL00-C. Const-qualify immutable objects
- DCL01-C. Do not reuse variable names in subscopes
- DCL02-C. Use visually distinct identifiers
- DCL03-C. Use a static assertion to test the value of a constant expression
- DCL04-C. Do not declare more than one variable per declaration
- DCL05-C. Use typedefs of non-pointer types only
- DCL06-C. Use meaningful symbolic constants to represent literal values
- DCL07-C. Include the appropriate type information in function declarators
- DCL08-C. Properly encode relationships in constant definitions
- DCL09-C. Declare functions that return errno with a return type of errno_t
- DCL10-C. Maintain the contract between the writer and caller of variadic functions
- DCL11-C. Understand the type issues associated with variadic functions
- DCL12-C. Implement abstract data types using opaque types
- DCL13-C. Declare function parameters that are pointers to values not changed by the function as const
- DCL15-C. Declare file-scope objects or functions that do not need external linkage as static
- DCL16-C. Use "L," not "l," to indicate a long value
- DCL17-C. Beware of miscompiled volatile-qualified variables
- DCL18-C. Do not begin integer constants with 0 when specifying a decimal value
- DCL19-C. Minimize the scope of variables and functions
- DCL20-C. Explicitly specify void when a function accepts no arguments
- DCL21-C. Understand the storage of compound literals
- DCL22-C. Use volatile for data that cannot be cached
- DCL23-C. Guarantee that mutually visible identifiers are unique
