Your attention is invited to the first part of an e-book on undefined behavior. This is not a textbook, as it's intended for those who are already familiar with C++ programming. It's a kind of...
What if common knowledge is actually more nuanced, and old familiar things like Double-checked locking are quite controversial? Examining the code of real projects gives this kind of thought. In...
If we ask a programmer what bugs are the most common in C and C++ code, they'll name a null pointer dereference, undefined behavior, array overrun, and other typical error patterns. They may name...
LLVM is an open-source project with a pretty large code base. The acme in terms of code quality, considering its size and open-source nature. After all, it's the developers of compiler tools who...
In this article, we'll look at how to correctly destroy objects in the OOP-based C++ program without redundant operations. This is the final article in the series about the bugs in...
Microsoft has introduced Garnet, an open-source, cross-platform, fast cache-store project written in C#. Let's equip ourselves with a static analyzer to see what bugs and oddities hide in the...
In the first article about qdEngine, we've discussed 10 errors selected by the PVS-Studio plugin. However, we have 10 more bugs that are worth mentioning. As they say, it's better to learn from...
ReactOS is a project where the victory over regression and the delivery of a new feature (or its working prototype) are loudly celebrated. Even the FOSS community has to take a break from...
If you want to make effective, reliable and well-structured C++ software, then you need to be aware of coding antipatterns. If you know these antipatterns, you may save yourself from making many mistakes.
In this article, we'll discuss how the PVS-Studio static analyzer encourages developers to refactor their code. After all, the shorter, simpler, and clearer the code is, the fewer errors it...
