Correct Use of Integers in Safety-critical Systems

Learn about the challenges and best practices for integer usage in safety-critical systems through this conference talk from NDC TechTown in Kongsberg, Norway. Explore why MISRA and AUTOSAR guidelines discourage the use of standard integer types in favor of exact width integers, and discover why this approach may have limitations. Gain insights into more effective strategies for achieving both safety and portability in critical software systems, particularly in C and C++ programming. Delve into expert analysis that challenges conventional wisdom about integer type selection and offers alternative solutions for developing robust safety-critical applications.
