cert-env33-c

This check flags calls to system(), popen(), and _popen(), which execute a command processor. It does not flag calls to system() with a null pointer argument, as such a call checks for the presence of a command processor but does not actually attempt to execute a command.

This check corresponds to the CERT C Coding Standard rule ENV33-C. Do not call system().
