While developing and helping people to use static code analyzers, we constantly encounter an inefficient approach to using these tools. Developers would launch the tool, find and fix...
Users' desire to compare different code analyzers is natural and understandable. However, it's not so easy to fulfill this desire as it may seem at first sight. The point is that you don't know...
Our PVS-Studio analyzer has existed for several years. But we are still coming across "initial" errors in it, i.e. errors that have existed there for the whole life-cycle. We have checked the...
Programming is hard. I hope no one would argue that. But the topic of new programming languages, or more exactly, search of a "silver bullet" is always highly popular with software developers...
While telling programmers about 64-bit issues they may encounter when porting their programs, I often hear reproaches: "Yes, surely - such is your Windows... How good it is that Linux has had...
Static code analysis technologies are used in companies with mature software development processes. However, there might be different levels of using and introducing code analysis tools into...
In this blog, you may often read posts about how this or that software tool or software development technology helps make fewer errors, find them faster and correct them easier. Surely this all...
Sometimes the PVS-Studio code analyzer seems to find an issue in the code on which it generates a message, specifies the file name but does not show the number of the line with the issue as shown...
When developing software products, developers need very much to get feedback from users of their programs. The article discusses various means of arranging communication for getting this feedback...
While developing, maintaining and selling the PVS-Studio analyzer of C/C++ code, we find it very interesting to communicate with potential users of our software product. The main topic of...
