    What Hacker News says

      For good practices in writing high-reliability C, look at these:

      http://lars-lab.jpl.nasa.gov/JPL_Coding_Standard_C.pdf

      http://www.leshatton.org/MISRA_comp_1105.html

      http://www.leshatton.org/ISOC_subset1103.html

      http://www.embedded.com/electronics-blogs/embedded-systems-d...

      For the related topic of secure code, these books are good:

      Mark Dowd. 2006. The Art of Software Security Assessment.

      Robert Seacord. 2013. Secure Coding in C and C++, 2e.

      For details on what is really going on inside C:

      Paul Anderson. 1998. Advanced C: Tips and Techniques.

      Kenneth Louden. 1997. Compiler Construction: Principles and Practice. Chapter 7.

      For C gotchas and general good practices:

      http://www.cs.tufts.edu/comp/40/reference/CTrapsAndPitfalls....

      Allen Holub. 1995. Enough Rope to Shoot Yourself in the Foot.

      P.J. Plauger. 1991. The Standard C Library. (It is partly a reference, but also has detailed discussion of the technical considerations faced in writing reliable code.)
