Unfortunately, despite the seeming simplicity, it is often not enough just to rebuild a 32-bit program for a 64-bit platform and fix compiler errors to provide assured operability of the...
There are two versions of the rundll32.exe program in 64-bit versions of Windows-family operating systems: 64-bit version: %WinDir%\System32\rundll32.exe and 32-bit...
The 64-bit version of Visual C++ compiler does not support inline assembler, so you cannot write code like "__asm int 3". But there is one more, less known mechanism to create interrupts...
Documented capabilities of WinAPI do not allow you to directly identify 64-bit processes from within a 32-bit program launched in a 64-bit Windows under WoW64. In general, reading of memory of...
You may easily do it using #define preliminarily defined in the compiler. The following is the code that shows in what mode a project is being built – 32-bit mode or 64-bit mode (AMD64 or...
This is one of my posts on how PVS-Studio makes programs safer. That is where and what types of errors it detects. This time it is samples demonstrating handling of the IPP 7.0 library...
While developing the PVS-Studio static analyzer, we always try to allow for responses and wishes of our users. This feedback lets us improve the quality of parsing of complex code, reduce the...
The register in 64-bit Windows versions is subdivided into 32-bit and 64-bit hives. Most 32-bit hives have the same names as their counterparts in the 64-bit hives and vice versa. By default...
I create the PVS-Studio analyzer detecting errors in source code of C/C++/C++0x software. So I have to review a large amount of source code of various applications where we detected suspicious...
