PVS-Studio 7.41: MISRA C 2023, enhanced Unreal Engine integration, updated IDEA plugin, new logging system, and much more

  • We completed another milestone in MISRA coverage, and now PVS-Studio C++ analyzer diagnostic rules cover 86% of the MISRA C 2023 standard. We will continue to expand MISRA C++ 2023 standard coverage in upcoming releases. For more details on MISRA support, please consult the documentation.
  • The C++ analyzer gained enhanced capabilities in analyzing Unreal Engine code. The analyzer now correctly parses the final specifier in virtual functions, and the V557 diagnostic rule properly handles engine containers.
  • We also expand taint analysis support in the C# analyzer. You can now add user annotations to async methods. Plus, we mapped async methods of standard library classes. For more details on C# user annotations, please consult the documentation.
  • We added the pvs-fp-cleaner utility to PVS-Studio distributions. This utility helps clean up redundant false positive suppress markers in the codebase. For more details, please consult the documentation.
  • We started to implement a new logging system to help collect issues that may arise when using PVS-Studio static analyzers. Extended logging is already available for the cross-platform C and C++ analyzer. In the next release, we plan to extend logging for the C++ and C# MSBuild analyzer. For more details on logging, please consult the documentation.
  • We enhanced the IntelliJ IDEA plugin. You can now export analyzer reports to CSV and choose to display relative paths. The slowdown when opening documentation was fixed. For more details on the IntelliJ IDEA plugin, please consult the documentation.

PVS-Studio 7.40: support for Visual Studio 2026, Qt Creator 18, .NET 10, updated C# diagnostic rules, and more

  • We added PVS-Studio plugin support for Visual Studio 2026. You can find more information about using the plugin in the documentation.
  • PVS-Studio plugin is now available for Qt Creator 18.x. Support for Qt Creator 12.x has been discontinued. We aim to maintain backward compatibility by supporting the latest plugin versions for all Qt Creator versions within two years of each release.
  • PVS-Studio C# analyzer now supports .NET 10 projects. On Windows, the minimum .NET version for analyzing SDK-style projects remains .NET 9. On Linux, C# project analysis now requires .NET 10.
  • A part of the C# diagnostic rules from the first hundred has been revised and enhanced. The update covers new language constructs, enhances PVS-Studio mechanisms for detecting code issues, and introduces many other refinements.
  • We updated the documentation on using PVS-Studio for Unreal Engine projects. This section now includes instructions for using the analyzer in the Unreal Build Accelerator distributed build system.

PVS-Studio 7.39: OWASP Top Ten 2021, enhanced Visual Studio Code plugin, extended MISRA Compliance support, and more

  • Several issues and crashes related to the new C++ parser, introduced in the previous version of the PVS-Studio C++ analyzer, have been resolved. This included fixing critical crashes when analyzing Unreal Engine projects. In case of instability with the new parser, it is recommended to temporarily switch back to the previous implementation via the use-old-parser option and to report the issue to the technical support team. Such feedback helps enhance the parser's stability and reliability.
  • We have increased the coverage of OWASP Top 10 2021 list in PVS-Studio Java analyzer. It now addresses 9 out of 10 categories. More information is available in the documentation.
  • The generation of MISRA Compliance report has been updated to support the new versions of the MISRA guidelines recognized by the analyzer. We are actively working to expand the coverage of the MISRA C 2023 standard and plan to finish it by the end of 2025. More information on MISRA standards coverage can be found here.
  • PVS-Studio plugin for Visual Studio Code now supports running analysis in compilation monitoring mode on Windows operating systems. We are planning to add build tracing support for Linux in future updates in PVS-Studio integration into Visual Studio Code. More information is available in the documentation.
