Pick a coding standard and linter

[NripeshManandhar]

Coding Standards:

• [ ] MISRA C++
• [ ] JSF C++
• [ ] AUTOSAR C++

Linters:

• [ ] Splint
• [ ] cppcheck
• [ ] clang-format

After picking a coding standard, set up a linter and integrate it with CircleCI

Looks like MISRA + AUTOSAR are going to be merged standards as of 2019. JSF is more for air vehicles, so this is a pretty easy choice to go with MISRA + AUTOSAR, but the merged standards aren't published yet. MISRA C++ seems too restrictive, since AUTOSAR allows for use of C++14 features, but no good free linters available for checking it.

Non-free linters:

• PClint
• Parasoft

I like clang-tidy and some student has seemingly integrated AUTOSAR checking into clang-tidy? https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2020/projects/6056658263867392/
