Programmers see in C++0x standard an opportunity to use lambda-functions and other entities I do not quite understand :). But personally, I see convenient means in it that allow us to get rid of many...
While maintaining the analyzer Viva64 (included into PVS-Studio) we often comment upon the switch /Wp64 of Microsoft Visual C++. If you are out of the swim, let me remind you that this switch...
We continue the cycle of posts about 64-bit errors detected in real applications. Time passes, demands for memory being consumed grow more and more, and now the time has come when somebody decides to...
In the previous blog-post I promised to tell you why it is difficult to demonstrate 64-bit errors by simple examples. We spoke about operator[] and I told that in simple cases even incorrect code...
In PVS-Studio 3.43, we revised the way how Viva64 analyzer detects errors in the classes serving as containers (arrays). Before, we have stuck to the principle that if a class has operator[], its...
While developing Viva64 analyzer intended for detecting 64-bit errors, I sometimes encounter interesting ways of code behavior. I would like to show you one example that is not very interesting...
When testing the analyzer PVS-Studio on one of the projects we found an interesting error. This error does not refer to the topic of 64-bits although its consequences are diagnosed as 64-bit...
Explicit type conversions often mask errors related to a change of a pointer type. One of such errors is casting of a pointer to 32-bit objects into a pointer to 64-bit ones.
In C language, you may use functions without defining them. Pay attention that I speak about C language, not C++. Of course, this ability is very dangerous. Let us have a look at an interesting...
