One of the problems that 64-bit software developers have to face is overflows of 32-bit variables in very long loops. PVS-Studio code analyzer is very good at catching issues of this type (see...
Some people think that undefined behavior is caused only by gross errors (accessing outside the bounds of the array, for instance) or inadequate constructions (i = i++ + ++i, for example). That's...
There is one question that we constantly get asked: "Does it make sense to use PVS-Studio static code analyzer, if we already have ReSharper?". Programmers probably expect to see an article with...
Suppose, you need to implement an X functionality in your project. Theorists of software development will say that you have to take the already existing library Y, and use it to implement the...
The long wait is finally over. We have released a static code analyzer PVS-Studio 6.00 that supports the analysis of C# projects. It can now analyze projects written in languages C, C++...
Nowadays 64-bit operating systems are very widespread. But 32-bit OS are still present on the market, in quite obvious quantities. A lot of modern program tools are developed to be run only in...
After checking hundreds of C/C++ projects of various types, I can claim: memset() is the most inefficient and dangerous function. Most errors that I see in projects are related to the usage of...
Our team is working on an experimental version of the PVS-Studio analyzer that from now on can analyze C# projects. This is neither a Release, nor even a Beta version. It's just a current build...
The PVS-Studio team is now actively developing a static analyzer for C# code. The first version is expected by the end of 2015. And for now my task is to write a few articles to attract...
Recently there appeared an article "Hackathon 2: Time lapse analysis of Unreal Engine 4", which describes how you can find a great number of bugs in Unreal Engine 4 using Klocwork. I just can't...
