| 61 | +- Introduction of new members |
| 62 | +- The SEI CERT Coding Standard for Fortran (David) |
| 63 | +- Read more here: [https://www.sei.cmu.edu/blog/the-sei-cert-coding-standard-for-fortran/](https://www.sei.cmu.edu/blog/the-sei-cert-coding-standard-for-fortran/) |
| 64 | +- Standards published for almost 20 years 🎉 |
| 65 | +- Fortran is new and still has some areas of improvement |
| 66 | + 1. Rules: What to follow that are specific and should be followed |
| 67 | + 2. Recommendations: Things you can violate if you’re careful |
| 68 | +- [TYP02-F. Prohibit implicit typing in all program units](https://cmu-sei.github.io/secure-coding-standards/sei-cert-fortran-coding-standard/types-typ/typ02-f) |
| 69 | + 1. Kind of odd; don’t have to declare before usage |
| 70 | + 2. If you just start using a variable, the letter that this variable name begins with determines its type |
| 71 | + 3. Recommended to, for all variables explicitly declare types of them |
| 72 | +- CERT C has on the order of \~200+ total rules and recommendations, so call to action for if anyone else would like |
| 73 | +6. Coverage of MISRA C and CERT C in 2026 (Félix / Markus updates) |
| 74 | +- MISRA C one from Markus has [merged](https://github.com/rustfoundation/safety-critical-rust-coding-guidelines/pull/432) |
| 75 | +- CERT C one from Oreste has [also merged](https://github.com/Safety-Critical-Rust-Consortium/safety-critical-rust-coding-guidelines/pull/582) |
| 76 | + - Live now at: [https://coding-guidelines.arewesafetycriticalyet.org/appendices/standards-matrices/index.html](https://coding-guidelines.arewesafetycriticalyet.org/appendices/standards-matrices/index.html) |
| 77 | + - Félix opened an [issue](https://github.com/Safety-Critical-Rust-Consortium/safety-critical-rust-coding-guidelines/issues/585) to track usability improvements in the appendices that's up for grabs |
| 78 | + - Pete will now mine these appendices for creating issues for contributors |
| 79 | + - Oreste: Items marked as ‘maybe’ are applicable to Rust. Formatting is a bit strange. |
| 80 | + - Pete: Will you create a new issue with whatever you consider needs still to be done? |
| 81 | + - Oreste: OK |
| 82 | +7. Interest in the MISRA C++ mapping (mira / Pete) |
| 83 | +- Updates on new things in the MISRA C++ \=\> Rust mapping |
| 84 | +- In talks with MISRA folks still; but in practice the procedure outlined seemed reasonable to them |
| 85 | +- Please register interest on [this Zulip thread](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/579369-safety-critical-consortium.2Fcoding-guidelines/topic/MISRA.20C.2B.2B.20Mapping.20Interest/with/584764785) |
| 86 | +- Mira: Most missing stuff is about inheritance. Would like review. Also lots of items about the standard library. |
| 87 | +- David: Difficult because MISRA C++ is not free. |
| 88 | +- Mira: Yes. I had to buy it. |
| 89 | +- Markus: Applicability of inheritance to Rust. Traits do have inheritance. |
| 90 | +- Mira: MISRA C++ was mostly about virtual inheritance. Also it has very little rules about templates. |
| 91 | +- Markus: It is good to think about how rules would apply in alternate technologies. |
| 92 | +- Pete: I have enlisted a MISRA C++ member to help out. |
| 93 | +8. Review batches for [CERT C Rust Mapping](https://github.com/rustfoundation/safety-critical-rust-coding-guidelines/issues/336) (Pete) (tabled) |
| 94 | +9. Round table |
