The article discusses the new capabilities of C++ language described in the standard C++0x and supported in Visual Studio 2010. By the example of PVS-Studio we will see how the changes in...
Programmers see in C++0x standard an opportunity to use lambda-functions and other entities I do not quite understand :). But personally, I see convenient means in it that allow us to get rid of...
While maintaining the analyzer Viva64 (included into PVS-Studio) we often comment upon the switch /Wp64 of Microsoft Visual C++. If you are out of the swim, let me remind you that this...
We continue the cycle of posts about 64-bit errors detected in real applications. Time passes, demands for memory being consumed grow more and more, and now the time has come when somebody decides...
In the previous blog-post I promised to tell you why it is difficult to demonstrate 64-bit errors by simple examples. We spoke about operator[] and I told that in simple cases even incorrect...
In PVS-Studio 3.43, we revised the way how Viva64 analyzer detects errors in the classes serving as containers (arrays). Before, we have stuck to the principle that if a class has operator[...
While developing Viva64 analyzer intended for detecting 64-bit errors, I sometimes encounter interesting ways of code behavior. I would like to show you one example that is not very...
When testing the analyzer PVS-Studio on one of the projects we found an interesting error. This error does not refer to the topic of 64-bits although its consequences are diagnosed as...
Explicit type conversions often mask errors related to a change of a pointer type. One of such errors is casting of a pointer to 32-bit objects into a pointer to 64-bit...
