Add support of MISRA C or AUTOSAR.

[Sniperq2]

There already well known way of how to make C code much stable and safe.

Using MISRA C or more open AUTOSAR.

Any thoughts?

MISRA indeed has some good points, but I wouldn't say that MISRA is really automatically improving code quality and safety.
One aspect I totally disagree with is demanding default statements in each swtich() - that's killing compiler checks for unhandled enum values. Keep in mind that's all coming from era where compiler checks still been bad.

What we definitively should do is enable more warnings (eg. int signedness) and really take care of them. It's already work in progress. There'll be several places where we can't change ABI (Nvidia, again) and need to do typecast tricks.

And for AUTOSAR ... well, I better hold myself back now, in order not to start a huge rant :p
Never seen such horribly messy code than in automotive industry. I'd rather learn from the Linux kernel or netbsd ;-)

Anyways, if you've got some specific policy suggestions, feel free to post them :)
