It is easy to try a static code analyzer. But it requires skills to introduce it in the development of an old large project. If the approach is incorrect, the analyzer can add work, slow...
We have added an option allowing you to experiment with the PVS-Studio static analyzer on the godbolt.org (Compiler Explorer) website. It supports analysis of C and C++ code. We believe this to be...
Spoiler: C++ isn't faster or slower — that's not the point, actually. This article continues our good tradition of busting myths about the Rust language shared by some big-name Russian companies.
The PVS-Studio analyzer can detect incorrect variants of the "double-checked locking" pattern implementation in C# programs. Sometimes users are not aware of the danger in the code indicated by...
This post continues the series of articles, which can well be called "horrors for developers". This time it will also touch upon a typical pattern of typos related to the usage of...
Machine learning has firmly entrenched in a variety of human fields, from speech recognition to medical diagnosing. The popularity of this approach is so great that people try to use it wherever...
In order to verify the quality of software, you have to use a lot of different tools, including static and dynamic analyzers. In this article, we'll try to figure out why only one type of...
While we are working hard on writing big articles on code check of the Haiku operating system, I'd like to give an example of an often found error with strncat function taken from that project...
During code analysis, PVS-Studio analyzes the data flow and operates variable values. Values are taken from constants or derived from conditional expressions. We call them virtual values...
It's not a secret that Microsoft has been working on the 8-th version of C# language for quite a while. The new language version (C# 8.0) is already available in the recent release of Visual...
