Abstract

The article considers the approach to identifying potentially unsafe data in program code of embedded systems which can lead to errors and fails in the functioning of equipment. The sources of invalid data are revealed and the process of changing the status of this data in process of static code analysis is shown. The mechanism for annotating functions that operate on unsafe data is described, which allows to control the entire process of using them and thus it will improve the quality of the output code.
