PHP2Shell (CVE-2026-109618/109619) is a textbook MISRA violation: longjmp bailouts, stale globals, use-after-free in PHP's C core. Why these rules belong in enterprise C/C++ too.
Zero-cost abstractions, if constexpr, structured bindings, RAII, fold expressions: the 10 technical reasons why C++17 has become the sweet spot for modern embedded systems and safety-critical firmware.
