In different programming languages, the behavior of virtual functions differs when it comes to constructors and destructors. Incorrect use of virtual functions is a classic mistake. Developers often use virtual functions incorrectly. In this article, we discuss this classic mistake.

2021 is coming to an end, which means it’s time to sum up the year! Today we’ll tell you about the new features we added to PVS-Studio in the past year. Buckle up and let’s go!
Continue readingWhen you are just starting to learn how to code, sometimes you may need practical tips from more experienced developers. What is a best practice for a specific scenario? What do you need to avoid? How to write better code? We took it upon us to help you out. Here’s a selection of 8 tips for beginner C++ developers.
Have fun watching this video and coding 🙂
The PVS-Studio developers often check open-source projects and write articles about that. Sometimes, when writing an article, we come across interesting situations or epic errors. Of course, we want to write a small note about it. This is one of those cases.

In May 2021, CppCast recorded a podcast called ABI stability (CppCast #300). In this podcast, Marshall Clow and the hosts discussed rather old news — Visual Studio compilers support the AddressSantitzer tool. We have already integrated ASan into our testing system a long time ago. Now we want to tell you about a couple of interesting errors it found.

Modern applications have lots of code. And the C++ language doesn’t get easier. Nowadays, code reviews are not enough to fully analyze program code. Here’s where static code analysis comes in.

Static code analysis allows you to identify and eliminate many defects at an early stage. Moreover, it’s possible to detect dormant errors that don’t show themselves when they appear. They can cause many problems in the future and it requires many hours of debugging to detect them. Let’s look at an example of such a dormant error.

A couple of years ago the PVS-Studio analyzer got its first diagnostic rules to check program code compliance with the MISRA C and MISRA C++ standards. We collected feedback and saw that our clients were interested in using the analyzer to check their projects for MISRA compliance. So, we decided to further develop the analyzer in this direction. The article covers the MISRA C/C++ standard and the MISRA Compliance report. It also shows what we already managed to do and what we plan to achieve by the end of the year.
