AUTOSAR 18-10 Standard mapped to Klocwork and community C and C++ checkers - Strict

You can use the AUTOSAR C++14 Strict taxonomy to ensure compliance with the AUTOSAR C++14 Standard, release 18-10. The AUTOSAR C++14 (18-10) taxonomy detects violations of our both our Klocwork C/C++ checkers, our MISRA checkers, and our Klocwork community checkers. This taxonomy includes coverage for additional rules compared to the non-strict version.
