[PATCH] docs/misra: rules for mass adoption
Posted by Stefano Stabellini 6 months ago
This patch adds a bunch of rules to rules.rst that are uncontroversial
and have zero violations in Xen. As such, they have been approved for
adoption.

All the ones that regard the standard library have the link to the
existing footnote in the notes.

The empty sub-bullet-point looks stray here.

Shouldn't this remark also be replicated ...

... for all three of these, seeing that errno is something a (standard) library
would provide? Or alternatively should remarks here say that we simply have no
errno?
