Automatic Coding Rule Conformance Checking Using Logic Programs

Some approaches to increasing program reliability involve a disciplined use of programming languages so as to minimise the hazards introduced by error-prone features. This is realised by writing code that is constrained to a subset of the a priori admissible programs, and that, moreover, may use only a subset of the language. These subsets are determined by a collection of so-called coding rules.
