How do I use the CodeQL Coding Standards Queries?

The use of the CodeQL Coding Standards is extensively documented in the user manual.

Use in a functional safety environment

The CodeQL Coding Standards is qualified as a "software tool" under "Part 8: Supporting processes" of ISO 26262 ("Road vehicles - Functional Safety") as described in our tool qualification documents. Use of the CodeQL Coding Standards is only compliant with the qualification if it is used as distributed by GitHub and according to the requirements described in the user manual.

Any changes to the CodeQL Coding Standards distribution and/or deviations from the requirements and steps described in the user manual runs the risk of non compliance.

We welcome contributions to our standard library and standard checks. Do you have an idea for a new check, or how to improve an existing query? Then please go ahead and open a pull request! Before you do, though, please take the time to read our contributing guidelines. You can also consult our development handbook to learn about the requirements for a contribution.
