Integers (INT)

• INT00-C. Understand the data model used by your implementation(s)
• INT01-C. Use size_t or rsize_t for all integer values representing the size of an object
• INT02-C. Understand integer conversion rules
• INT04-C. Enforce limits on integer values originating from tainted sources
• INT05-C. Do not use input functions to convert character data if they cannot handle all possible inputs
• INT07-C. Use only explicitly signed or unsigned char type for numeric values
• INT08-C. Verify that all integer values are in range
• INT09-C. Ensure enumeration constants map to unique values
• INT10-C. Do not assume a positive remainder when using the % operator
• INT12-C. Do not make assumptions about the type of a plain int bit-field when used in an expression
• INT13-C. Use bitwise operators only on unsigned operands
• INT14-C. Avoid performing bitwise and arithmetic operations on the same data
• INT15-C. Use intmax_t or uintmax_t for formatted IO on programmer-defined integer types
• INT16-C. Do not make assumptions about representation of signed integers
• INT17-C. Define integer constants in an implementation-independent manner
• INT18-C. Evaluate integer expressions in a larger size before comparing or assigning to that size
