Not so long ago we worked on a diagnostic rule related to the finalizer check. This provoked an argument on the details of the garbage collector work and the finalization of objects. Although we...
One of the main problems with C++ is having a huge number of constructions whose behavior is undefined, or is just unexpected for a programmer. We often come across them when using our...
Despite the fact that it's quite easy and comfortable to use the serialization mechanism in C#, there are some points that are worth taking note of. This article is about the ways in which you...
To assess the quality of PVS-Studio C# diagnostics, we test it on a large number of software projects. Since projects are written by different programmers from different teams and companies, we...
Yes, you've guessed correctly - the answer is "42". In this article you will find 42 recommendations about coding in C++ that can help a programmer avoid a lot of errors, save time and effort...
In programming, a logical expression is a language construct that is evaluated as true or false. Many books that teach programming "from scratch" discuss possible operations on logical...
In arithmetic expressions, the types of operands can be converted to a common type. Such conversions are described in the language standard, and in C# they are much simpler than in C++. However...
One of the problems that 64-bit software developers have to face is overflows of 32-bit variables in very long loops. PVS-Studio code analyzer is very good at catching issues of this type (see...
Some people think that undefined behavior is caused only by gross errors (accessing outside the bounds of the array, for instance) or inadequate constructions (i = i++ + ++i, for example). That's...
Suppose, you need to implement an X functionality in your project. Theorists of software development will say that you have to take the already existing library Y, and use it to implement the...
