Your attention is invited to the final 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 C...
Every year, we witness the same drama: bugs wreak havoc on our code as if asserting their dominance. But today, the tide turns—it's time for judgment. Let's dive into the most intriguing bugs we've...
Imagine you add a third-party library and suddenly some diagnostic rules of the static analyzer stop working. In this article, we'll look at one of the reasons why this can happen and offer some...

Forget about ghosts! The true threats lurk in everyday things—like static_cast, which can unexpectedly drop all security efforts, and assert, which rapidly vanishes in a release build. Welcome to the...
C and C++ are iconic languages in which a huge amount of code is written. What path have they traveled to become ones? This article covers the emergence of C and the beginning of its official...
The PVS-Studio static analyzer can find errors even in such a high-quality and well-tested project as LLVM. To make sure it's not empty words, we occasionally check the project and post notes about...
We all need to interact with a debugger somehow: via text or a graphical user interface. A nasty bug may appear in a program "shell" with a well-established core. Users are unlikely to like it. Any...
