Misra2012 Misra2012:1.2 Language extensions should not be used
Misra2004 Misra2004:1.1 All code shall conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 "Programming languages C", amended and corrected by ISO/IEC 9899/COR1:1995, ISO/IEC 9899/AMD1:1995, and ISO/IEC 9899/COR2:1996

Availability Available for C and C++.
Enabling Checks for this warning class are disabled by default, and require the unnormalized C ASTs for the project. To enable them, add the following WARNING_FILTER rule and RETAIN_UNNORMALIZED_C_AST specification to the project configuration file. 
RETAIN_UNNORMALIZED_C_AST = Yes
WARNING_FILTER += allow class="GNU Extension"
Note that retaining the unnormalized ASTs will increase the disk space used to store the project representation, and may make the analysis take longer.
