For those interested, the F-35 (née Joint Strike Fighter) C++ coding standards can be found here, all 142 pages of it:

In general, are these good recommendations for building software for embedded or lower-spec devices? I don't know how to do preprocessor macros anyhow, for instance - so as i am reading this i am like "yeah, i agree..." until the no stdio.h!

stdio.h is not what you would use in safe code.

Afair they use a lot of stuff related to the Green Hills toolchain.

Depends. You use vendor specific libraries for hard real time systems, or in house libraries, or roll your own functions.
