Guideline

AssignmentInSubExpression EXP45-C. Do not perform assignments in selection statements
ElseIfWithoutElse MSC01-C. Strive for logical completeness
IdentifierLongerThan31 DCL23-C. Guarantee that mutually visible identifiers are unique
IncAndDecMixedWithOtherOperators EXP30-C. Do not depend on the order of evaluation for side effects
LiteralSuffix DCL16-C. Use "L," not "l," to indicate a long value
NarrowAndWideStringConcat STR10-C. Do not concatenate different type of string literals
NonEmptyCaseWithoutBreak MSC17-C. Finish every set of statements associated with a case label with a break statement
OctalConstantAndSequence DCL18-C. Do not begin integer constants with 0 when specifying a decimal value
S121 EXP19-C. Use braces for the body of an if, for, or while statement
S810 STR00-C. Represent characters using an appropriate type
S810 STR04-C. Use plain char for characters in the basic character set
S814 INT12-C. Do not make assumptions about the type of a plain int bit-field when used in an expression

S864 EXP00-C. Use parentheses for precedence of operation
S874 INT13-C. Use bitwise operators only on unsigned operands
S929 DCL20-C. Explicitly specify void when a function accepts no arguments
S930 EXP37-C. Call functions with the correct number and type of arguments
S930 DCL07-C. Include the appropriate type information in function declarators
S935 MSC37-C. Ensure that control never reaches the end of a non-void function
S960 PRE00-C. Prefer inline or static functions to function-like macros
S973 MSC00-C. Compile cleanly at high warning levels
S978 DCL37-C. Do not declare or define a reserved identifier
