I suppose most readers of our blog already knew that PVS-Studio is a static analyzer for C/C++ source code. But I believe that few of you really wonder about what a static code analyzer actually...
Some of our users run static analysis only occasionally. They find new errors in their code and, feeling glad about this, willingly renew PVS-Studio licenses. I should feel glad too, shouldn't I...
If your solution includes a lot of large projects, you may find it uncomfortable to operate the PVS-Studio analyzer when checking it. In this small post we'll explain why it happens and...
I've decided to write about the work our team is doing regarding open-source projects. I will give a list of open-source projects we have checked by now with the PVS-Studio analyzer. Then I'll...
According to the C++ standard, the pointer size depends on the particular compiler implementation and does not relate directly to the platform capacity. In its turn, within the framework of...
The _WIN64 macro will be always predefined by the compiler itself while building for any 64-bit Windows family OS, so this macro should not ever be defined manually. It's worth noting that _WIN64...
At present, the Microsoft Visual C++ and GCC compilers do not allow you to use 32-bit pointers in 64-bit software created for processors based on x86-64 architecture. You can use 64-bit registers...
To work with size_t, ptrdiff_t, intptr_t and uintptr_t types in the functions like sscanf, printf you may use size specifiers. If you are developing a Windows-application, you may use the...
