+
+Statements
+**********
+
+ST-01: sizeof operator shall not be performed on an array function parameter
+============================================================================
+
+When an array is used as the function parameter, the array address is passed.
+Thus, the return value of the sizeof operation is the pointer size rather than
+the array size.
+
+Compliant example::
+
+    #define SHOWCASE_SIZE 32U
+    
+    void showcase(uint32_t array_source[SHOWCASE_SIZE]) {
+            uint32_t num_bytes = SHOWCASE_SIZE * sizeof(uint32_t);
+    
+            printf("num_bytes %d \n", num_bytes);
+    }
+
+.. rst-class:: non-compliant-code
+
+   Non-compliant example::
+
+       #define SHOWCASE_SIZE 32U
+       
+       void showcase(uint32_t array_source[SHOWCASE_SIZE]) {
+           uint32_t num_bytes = sizeof(array_source);
+       
+           printf("num_bytes %d \n", num_bytes);
+       }
+
+
+ST-02: Argument of strlen shall end with a null character
+=========================================================
+
+Compliant example::
+
+    uint32_t size;
+    char showcase[3] = {'0', '1', '\0'};
+    
+    size = strlen(showcase);
+
+.. rst-class:: non-compliant-code
+
+   Non-compliant example::
+
+       uint32_t size;
+       char showcase[2] = {'0', '1'};
+       
+       size = strlen(showcase);
+
+
+ST-03: Two strings shall not be copied to each other if they have memory overlap
+================================================================================
+
+Compliant example::
+
+    char *str_source = "showcase";
+    char str_destination[32];
+    
+    (void)strncpy(str_destination, str_source, 8U);
+
+.. rst-class:: non-compliant-code
+
+   Non-compliant example::
+
+       char *str_source = "showcase";
+       char *str_destination = &str_source[1];
+       
+       (void)strncpy(str_destination, str_source, 8U);
+
+
+ST-04: memcpy shall not be performed on objects with overlapping memory
+=======================================================================
+
+Compliant example::
+
+    char *str_source = "showcase";
+    char str_destination[32];
+    
+    (void)memcpy(str_destination, str_source, 8U);
+
+.. rst-class:: non-compliant-code
+
+   Non-compliant example::
+
+       char str_source[32];
+       char *str_destination = &str_source[1];
+       
+       (void)memcpy(str_destination, str_source, 8U);
+
+
+ST-05: Assignment shall not be performed between variables with overlapping storage
+===================================================================================
+
+Compliant example::
+
+    union union_showcase
+    {
+        uint8_t data_8[4];
+        uint16_t data_16[2];
+    };
+    
+    union union_showcase showcase;
+    
+    showcase.data_16[0] = 0U;
+    showcase.data_8[3] = (uint8_t)showcase.data_16[0];
+
+.. rst-class:: non-compliant-code
+
+   Non-compliant example::
+
+       union union_showcase
+       {
+           uint8_t data_8[4];
+           uint16_t data_16[2];
+       };
+       
+       union union_showcase showcase;
+       
+       showcase.data_16[0] = 0U;
+       showcase.data_8[0] = (uint8_t)showcase.data_16[0];
+
+
+ST-06: The array size shall be valid if the array is function input parameter
+=============================================================================
+
+This is to guarantee that the destination array has sufficient space for the
+operation, such as copy, move, compare and concatenate.
+
+Compliant example::
+
+    void showcase(uint32_t array_source[16])
+    {
+        uint32_t array_destination[16];
+    
+        (void)memcpy(array_destination, array_source, 16U);
+    }
+
+.. rst-class:: non-compliant-code
+
+   Non-compliant example::
+
+       void showcase(uint32_t array_source[32])
+       {
+           uint32_t array_destination[16];
+       
+           (void)memcpy(array_destination, array_source, 32U);
+       }
+
+
+ST-07: The destination object shall have sufficient space for operation
+=======================================================================
+
+The destination object shall have sufficient space for operation, such as copy,
+move, compare and concatenate. Otherwise, data corruption may occur.
+
+Compliant example::
+
+    uint32_t array_source[32];
+    uint32_t array_destination[32];
+    
+    (void)memcpy(array_destination, array_source, 32U);
+
+.. rst-class:: non-compliant-code
+
+   Non-compliant example::
+
+       uint32_t array_source[32];
+       uint32_t array_destination[16];
+       
+       (void)memcpy(array_destination, array_source, 32U);
+
+
+ST-08: The size param to memcpy/memset shall be valid
+=====================================================
+
+The size param shall not be larger than either the source size or destination
+size. Otherwise, data corruption may occur.
+
+Compliant example::
+
+    #define SHOWCASE_BYTES (32U * sizeof(uint32_t))
+    
+    uint32_t array_source[32];
+    
+    (void)memset(array_source, 0U, SHOWCASE_BYTES);
+
+.. rst-class:: non-compliant-code
+
+   Non-compliant example::
+
+       #define SHOWCASE_BYTES (32U * sizeof(uint32_t))
+       
+       uint32_t array_source[32];
+       
+       (void)memset(array_source, 0U, 2U * SHOWCASE_BYTES);
+
+
+
+Identifiers
+***********
+
+ID-01: static keyword shall not be used in an array index declaration
+=====================================================================
+
+Compliant example::
+
+    char showcase[2] = {'0', '1'};
+    char chr;
+    
+    chr = showcase[1];
+
+.. rst-class:: non-compliant-code
+
+   Non-compliant example::
+
+       char showcase[2] = {'0', '1'};
+       char chr;
+       
+       chr = showcase[static 1];
