Ask HN: Do you remember a C coding style guide posted here recently?

I can't for the life of me find a coding style guide that was on HN sometime in December or November last year, it was from a company writing C or C++ software I think, and it had a great section on defensive programming. Anyone remember?

Not sure which one you are looking for, but MISRA is posted here often when speaking of C/C++ and safe practices. That is kinda focused in the embedded space however, so may not be the same thing you are thinking of. Another common one is JPL C coding standard that has been referenced here before:
