Users' desire to compare different code analyzers is natural and understandable. However, it's not so easy to fulfill this desire as it may seem at first sight. The point is that you don't know...
It seemed that long forum debates about methods of measuring algorithm's running time, functions to use and precision that should be expected were over. Unfortunately, we have to return to...
We publish rather many articles about software errors, code analysis and of course using our PVS-Studio static analyzer to detect issues in popular open-source projects. To make our articles...
This is the second article on avoiding certain errors at the early stage of code writing. In the previous post, we have already advised you to avoid a large number of calculations in one...
Our PVS-Studio analyzer has existed for several years. But we are still coming across "initial" errors in it, i.e. errors that have existed there for the whole life-cycle. We have checked the...
I've arrived at the source code of a widely know instant messenger Miranda IM. Together with various plugins, this is a rather large project whose size is about 950 thousand code lines in C and...
I decided to find out if there is practical sense in writing ++iterator instead of iterator++, when handling iterators. My interest in this question arose not from my love of art, but...
Unfortunately, despite the seeming simplicity, it is often not enough just to rebuild a 32-bit program for a 64-bit platform and fix compiler errors to provide assured operability of the...
