 * A generic static code analysis is performed by [cppcheck](https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/).
 * In addition, [cppcheck](https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/) has a specific addon to check for [MISRA C:2012](https://misra.org.uk/) violations. See [current coverage](https://github.com/commaai/panda/blob/master/tests/misra/coverage_table).
