[SystemSafety] New paper on MISRA C

[Derek M Jones]

David,

> Once the grant-funded project was complete, some of the industrial partners elected to continue working together on a self-funded basis and one of the first outcomes of this was the publication of MISRA C.  This arose from two automotive companies acknowledging it was better to have a single industry approach to a C subset than company specific guidelines.

MISRA were paid to do some work, when it took off those involved were
flexible enough to find a way for the 'project' to continue.

The success story of MISRA C is a result of the efforts of those
inside and outside to keep working over many years, on what senior
management probably regarded as an inefficient use of resources.
