May 1, 2025May 2025 monthly summary for stinb/plugins focusing on compliance automation, quality improvements, and tooling modernization. Delivered a new MISRA rule to prohibit memcmp-based comparison of null-terminated strings, with a Python violation detector and a C++ test demonstrating compliant and non-compliant usage. Reduced false positives across MISRA/C/C++ rule checks by refining detectors and rule evaluations across multiple standards (AUTOSAR A12-0-1, MISRA C 2023 13.3, MISRA C++ 6.2.4, MISRA C++ 23_8.14.1, backward goto for MISRA C 15.2, and MISRA23_13.6 string-literal exclusion), supported by a set of false-positive fixes. Enhanced Ada iReport generation for record types, output consistency, and clearer references, backed by refactoring and parsing improvements. Completed tooling migration to the upy-based MISRA checker format (2012 rule 13.3) and updated 2023 checks, simplifying future maintenance. Implemented documentation fixes to MISRA C/C++ standards to improve accuracy and developer guidance.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025: Delivered Ada reporting improvements and strong static-analysis tooling in stinb/plugins, plus a critical bug fix to type analysis. Ada Project Reporting and iReport Enhancements delivered a new Ada project report generator and expanded iReport interfaces to provide organized access to constants, types, data, and operations across required and internal components. MISRA C 2023 Static Analysis Rule Set introduced new checks (timed mutex usage, prohibition of dynamic thread creation, and consistent alignment across declarations) with supporting Python scripts and test cases to bolster safety and standard compliance. CPP_T035 Type Copyability Script Bug Fix corrected type comparisons by converting types to strings, ensuring accurate identification of non-trivial and cheap-to-copy types. These changes collectively improve project visibility, governance, safety/compliance posture, and reliability of type analysis, while enabling maintainability and future tooling enhancements.
