We regularly check open-source C/C++ projects, but what we check are mostly projects developed in the Visual Studio IDE. For some reason, we haven't paid much attention to the Embarcadero C++...
Static code analysis tools can help developers eliminate numbers of bugs as early as at the coding stage. With their help you can, for example, quickly catch and fix any typos. Well, some...
Some time ago, a vulnerability was revealed in OpenSSL, and I guess there's no programmer who hasn't been talking about it since then. I knew that PVS-Studio could not catch the bug leading to...

This time it was the microcosm that brought us a few interesting bugs. We have checked the open-source project μManager with our analyzer PVS-Studio. This project is a software package for...
We have finished a large comparison of the static code analyzers Cppcheck, PVS-Studio and Visual Studio 2013's built-in analyzer. In the course of this investigation, we checked over 10...
We have recently carried out an experiment with checking the glibc library by PVS-Studio. Its purpose was to study how good our analyzer is at checking Linux-projects. The basic conclusion is...
