| 58 | +## **Tasks** |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +* Pete: Follow up with Markus on Coverage of MISRA C and CERT C in 2026 |
| 61 | +* Pete: Reach out to someone from MISRA and talk with them about the concrete use case of a copy of MISRA C++ |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +## **Meeting Minutes** |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +* Previous meeting minutes accepted |
| 66 | +* Max reported that he doesn’t have a copy of MISRA C++, yet |
| 67 | +* A question came up about whether there is a planned start date for the MISRA C++ mapping, conclusion: no fixed start or end date, just that prerequisites need to be resolved and then we can start |
| 68 | +* Everybody is invited to join any of the Project Goal efforts via Zulip discussion |
| 69 | +* The pipeline from the operational semantics team \-\> reference updated \-\> FLS will likely take them some time. In the meantime we want to be practical with getting normative documentation updated. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +**Notes on CERT C Review Batch 1 of 5** |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +* PR31: It seems to apply indeed, because it seems to be conceptually the same in C and Rust. Even the current note seems to confirm that. Proposed advisory see [https://github.com/Safety-Critical-Rust-Consomay need to be mappedrtium/safety-critical-rust-coding-guidelines/issues/557](https://github.com/Safety-Critical-Rust-Consortium/safety-critical-rust-coding-guidelines/issues/557) |
| 75 | +* EXP30: It isn’t UB indeed, but we should probably still keep this rule as applicable, because there is still good reason to avoid this to prevent misleading the reader of code. |
| 76 | +* EXP32: There is read\_volatile and write\_volatile, which are unsafe. So this still applies in unsafe contexts. |
| 77 | +* ARR39: It seems to be applicable when using the offset API. So we should map it. See [https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.pointer.html\#method.offset](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.pointer.html#method.offset) |
| 78 | +* FIO32: We think that this could apply, because this is not a problem of the language, but the OS. See also [https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/os/unix/io/index.html\#procselfmem-and-similar-os-features](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/os/unix/io/index.html#procselfmem-and-similar-os-features) |
| 79 | +* FIO46: We agree it does not apply. |
