I have been approached by a member of our Quality Assurance group with a view
to setting up some of C programming standards iand procedures for internal use.
We feel these standards/procedures should cover the following areas:
o - Use of utilities such as make , lint etc ( other suggestions
are welcome).
o - Some guidelines for programming style.
o - Operating system interaction.
o - Use of standard libaries and system calls.
o - Implications of standards such as POSIX and X-OPEN.
o - How to do it - production of zero defect software.
We use NCR towers running Unix versions 5.2 and 5.3 ( soon presumably 5.4 ),
this will not preclude other platforms and possibly use of C standards for
C programming on other Operating Systems.
It is not my intention to inspire some sort of 'flame-war' on this and be
deluged with mailings about how to write comments , I am most interested in
hearing from other large organisations who have undertaken a similar exercise.
To minimise wasted bandwidth please direct ( some :-) ) replies to my
mailbox.
