As an experiment, we have decided to offer everyone interested a PVS-Studio registration key for 5 days to study its 64-bit diagnostics more thoroughly.
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 tell...
Both static analysis and code review are methods to find errors and vulnerabilities in source code without explicitly executing the program being examined.
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 a...
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 is...
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 and...
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 size...
size_t is a base unsigned integer memsize-type defined in the standard library of C/C++ languages. This type is described in the header file stddef.h for C and in the file cstddef for C++. Types...
MSDN is a large knowledge base, so maintaining and keeping it up-to-date is an extremely difficult and perhaps almost impossible task. In forums, there are many questions asked by programmers who are...
