     do 100 i = 1,10
     do 100 i = 1.10

(FORTRAN ignores embedded white space.) The first is a loop over 1..10 
delimited by label 100.

The second assigns 1.10 to variable `do100i`.

So it's not really ambiguous, but it is error prone.

And they brought out their own “True BASIC” which did exactly this, to try 
to compete against Microsoft BASIC, which they saw as being not “true” to 
their original idea of BASIC.

I don’t think it did very well.

I skimmed through MISRA some years ago and wasn't very impressed by it,
actually.

It's full the kind of coding rules that you might want to enforce
if you have to produce a bunch of C, and the only people you are given
are ones who shouldn't even remotely be doing such a thing.

We might call those coders Les MISRAbles. :)

The rules are not suitable for people who know what they are doing
(and use tools effectively) and detrimental to the code.

The MISRA rules are a mixed bag.  Some of them are definitely things 
that should be considered obvious - such as "don't rely on the results 
of undefined behaviour".  And some are also more appropriate for people 
using poorer tools (or who don't know how to use their tools well). 
Some are directly unhelpful - it talks about an "effective type" system 
that is, as I recall, subtly wrong.

It is worth remembering the target audience, especially for older 
versions of MISRA (their rules have been updated several times).  It 
used to be the norm that compilers for microcontrollers were a bit odd - 
they could be very poor at optimising (leading to people doing dangerous 
tricks, or at least unclear code, to get faster results), and poor at 
warnings.  They often had lots of extensions, and non-conforming 
features.  (I've seen an 8-bit sort-of-C compiler that intentionally 
does not promote 8-bit types to "int" as required - and that was a big 
name, big price toolchain.)  These tools also change slowly - many did 
not have decent C99 support until perhaps fifteen years ago, so you 
couldn't use the newer and better C version.  And the tools can have 
more bugs than more popular toolchains with wider audiences.

A fair proportion of people programming for small embedded systems are 
primarily electronics engineers and other hardware people that have 
moved into software.  They often lack significant formal education in 
programming or in C.  So guidelines here can match that.

All in all, this means MISRA can be useful and appropriate in some 
cases, and inappropriate in other cases - they are certainly not 
something you'd use for all C programming.

Nevertheless, they are based on real-world experience with certain all-
too-common errors with C programming, are they not.

I presume they mean expressions used as conditions, but unless they
define what they the phrase "boolean value" somwhere, that's not what
they wrote.

Editing error.

I presume they mean expressions used as conditions, but unless they
define what they *mean by* the phrase "boolean value" somwhere, that's
not what they wrote.

In MISRA 1998, the explanation for that rule includes:

"""
Strictly speaking, in C, there is no Boolean type, but there is a 
conceptual difference between expressions which return a numeric value 
and expressions which return a Boolean value.

If assignments are required then they must be performed separately 
outside of any expressions which are effectively of Boolean type.
"""

MISRA regularly uses its own terms that are different from the Standard 
C terms, which IMHO is needlessly confusing and inaccurate.  Sometimes 
these terms are defined, sometimes not.  "Boolean" and "Effectively 
Boolean value" are not defined anywhere in MISRA 1998.

(And in MISRA 2012 there is the extraordinary, messy, vague and badly 
defined idea of "the essential type model" which seems to be what the 
MISRA authors wished C had for its types, operators and conversions, but 
which is at odds with what C really has.)


In MISRA C 2012, the assignment rule is simpler : "The result of an 
assignment operator should not be used".

Interesting. So no more chained assignments?

Python manages to allow these, without allowing assignments to actually 
have a value as such.

Of course, Python has its own pitfalls, such as

    a = b = []

Correct.

Chained assignments are used in three ways, I would say :

1. Inappropriately grouping things that are logically separate :

	index = sum = 0;

Splitting these makes code clearer.

2. Grouping things to save lines using old-style "declare variables at 
the top of the function" code:

	int a, b;
	...
	a = b = 0;

Rather write:

	int a = 0;
	int b = 0;

3. Cases where grouping really does make sense :

	x = y = z = initial_value;


I don't see a problem with case 3, but these are so rare that it is not 
a problem if a coding style disallows them.

I don't know MISRA, but to me the two terms are quite clear in this
context; they are referring to the differentiation in the preceding
paragraph.

It says "Assignment operators shall not be used in expressions which 
return Boolean values", at least in my copy of MISRA 1998.  Of course, 
the use of "return" just makes it worse.

They explain with examples:

"""
For example write:

	x = y;
	if ( x != 0 )
	{
		foo();
	}

and not:

	if ( ( x = y ) != 0 )
	{
		foo();
	}

or even worse:

	if ( x = y )
	{
		foo();
	}

This helps to avoid getting ‘=’and ‘==’confused, and assists the static 
detection of mistakes.

x = y is an expression that yields a value of the type of x (after
lvalue conversion).  This is unlikely to be _Bool which (even if they
mean _Bool instead of Boolean) is why I say they can't mean what they
say.

Your later post in reply to someone else explains that they don't mean
what they say though, even a few minutes after reading it, I can't
remember what the clarification was.

These sorts of guides often use silly examples like this.  What is the
MIRSA preferred why to write

  while ((x = get_the_next_x(...)) != NO_MORE_Xs) {
      ... use x ...
  }

?  Presumably they want people to duplicate the call:

  x = get_the_next_x(...);
  while (x != NO_MORE_Xs) {
     ... use x ...
     x - get_the_next_y(...);
  }

or maybe use break:

  while (1) {
     x = get_the_next_x(...);
     if (x != NO_MORE_Xs) break;
     ... use x ...
  }

Neither looks good to me.

I need to correct this because (though I am guessing) they probably mean
that the value of the assignment can't be used in the integer-valued
expression whose operator is !=.

Another way is the use the gnu extension to put two statements inside 
the condition, although when I tried it now it didn't like it:

     while ({x = get_the_next_x(...); x != NO_MORE_Xs;}) {...}

I doubt that would cut any ice with MISRA. You're not technically using 
the result of an assignment in an expression, but you're instead putting 
entire statements in there!

MISRA disallows extensions, despite most compilers used by people 
writing MISRA code /requiring/ extensions to do the job.

MISRA 1998 starts with these rules :

1. All code shall conform to ISO 9899 standard C, with no extensions 
permitted.

2. Code written in languages other than C should only be used if
there is a defined interface standard for object code to which the
compilers/assemblers for both languages conform.

3. Assembly language functions that are called from C should be
written as C functions containing only in-line assembly language,
and in-line assembly language should not be embedded in normal
C code.

So you are only allowed to use C for your code, conforming to standard 
C90, without extensions.  But you are allowed to use code in other 
languages.  And you can't use extensions for your compiler, but if you 
use assembly functions, they must be in C inline assembly - which 
necessitates extensions.

Did I mention that I thought MISRA was a bit mixed up?

This is the best approach, though in C I generally use “for (;;)” to 
indicate “loop forever”. The nice thing is it gracefully generalizes to 
more code before (and after) the break, and multiple exits from the loop.

To be clear - I am quoting MISRA here, not saying I think it is 
necessarily a good idea, or that the MISRA standards explain it well.

(They don't mean "_Bool" here, because that was MISRA 1998, which 
considered only C90.)

That's the issue with almost any rule - there are almost always cases 
where breaking the rule leads to clearer code (possibly clearer simply 
because it is idiomatic, and therefore familiar).
