Static code analysis is the process of detecting errors and defects in a software’s source code. Static analysis can be viewed as an automated code review process. Let’s speak about the code review now.
Tips and tricks
C++ pointers: why we need them, when we use them, how they differ from accessing to object itself
Even though most programmers understand what is the difference between objects and pointers to them, sometimes it is not entirely clear, which of the ways of accessing the object to choose. We have tried to answer this question below.
Programming Concepts: The Stack and the Heap
As we continue to use more advanced programming languages, we’re able to get some seriously powerful development done with much less code that does increasingly more awesome stuff, but that comes at a price. Since we don’t deal as often with low-level computation and processing anymore, it’s only normal that we don’t always have a full understanding about topics like what the stack is versus the heap, or how compilation really works, or what static vs dynamic typing is, or type introspection, or garbage collection, etc. Now I’m not saying every developer is ignorant of these, as most of us certainly aren’t, but I do feel like it’s worth revisiting some of the old-school important topics that we may miss out on these days.
Book pack of free books on C# language
C# – is an object oriented language of programming, created in 1998–2001 by Microsoft company as a language of application development for Microsoft .NET Framework platform. It combines a strength and flexibility of C++ with a simplicity of Visual Basic. You will find the book pack below, which will help you learn this programming language.
Project not for beginners: we write a text editor with the search ability and syntax highlighting in C
We offer to your attention a series of English articles published on a blog of Jeremy Ruten. You will find in it a detailed description of a development process of own text editor in C.
Safe Clearing of Private Data
We often need to store private data in programs, for example passwords, secret keys, and their derivatives, and we usually need to clear their traces in the memory after using them so that a potential intruder can’t gain access to these data. In this article we will discuss why you can’t clear private data using memset() function.
The long arrow operator in C++
Sometimes, we need to create wrapper types. For example, types like unique_ptr, shared_ptr, optional and similar.
Usually, these types have an accessor member function called .get but they also provide the operator-> to support direct access to the contained value similarly to what ordinary pointers do.
