Our team has recently finished porting one pretty large project (9 million code lines, 300 Mbytes of source files) to the 64-bit platform. It took us one year and a half. Although we are...
This post will be first of all of utmost interest to project and technical managers whose teams use the PVS-Studio code analyzer in their projects. We have recently implemented a new feature to...
One of the most difficult things about using static analysis tools is managing false positives. There are a number of ways to eliminate them using the analyzer's settings or changing the code...
PVS-Studio is a static analyzer that detects errors in source code of C/C++ applications. Like a compiler, the analyzer parses the project source files one by one. However, without the help...
PVS-Studio performs analysis of C/C++ code and highlights for the programmer various hidden errors and code fragments that may cause troubles in future. If your project is a large-scale one...
We have used a trial version of PVS-Studio for HPX previously, but I vaguely remembered it as being very verbose in its diagnostics. I have read a lot about the tool lately, and since it was a...
Our team analyzes lots of open-source projects to demonstrate the diagnostic capabilities of the PVS-Studio analyzer. After reading our articles, people will often ask: "How does the program run...

Using static analysis tools for automating code inspections can be beneficial for software engineers. Such tools can make finding bugs, or software defects, faster and cheaper than...
Every now and then, we receive e-mails reading something like "After I have installed the analyzer, I find the PVS-Studio.exe file, launch it, but it wouldn't work". Since these are not rare...
In my previous post I talked about recursion problems in a Fibonacci function using 64-bit variables as function parameters, compiled using the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. It turned out that...
