Will you try it?

AddressSanitizer (ASan) for Windows with MSVC

by Augustin Popa

From the article:

We are pleased to announce AddressSanitizer (ASan) support for the MSVC toolset. ASan is a fast memory error detector that can find runtime memory issues such as use-after-free and perform out of bounds checks. Support for sanitizers has been one of our more popular suggestions on Developer Community, and we can now say that we have an experience for ASan on Windows, in addition to our existing support for Linux projects...

C/C++ Include Guidelines -- Thomas Young

Good practices for setting up include files are key to keeping large code-bases manageable, in pre-modules C++, and this article presents 15 rules to keep you on the right track.

C/C++ Include Guidelines

by Thomas Young

From the article:

The rules listed here are relatively mechanical, by which I mean that these are things that can be applied locally to individual bits of source code, without strokes of genius or flashes of inspiration, but with the possibility to nevertheless significantly improve code organisation, which is useful particularly in the case of large legacy code bases.
