What’s Next: A Roadmap for CLion 2021.2

The future.

What’s Next: A Roadmap for CLion 2021.2

by Anastasia Kazakova

From the article:

CLion 2021.1 is now released along with the first bug-fix update 2021.1.1 addressing some of the most critical issues which unfortunately squeezed through our testing procedures. We do hope you are enjoying the update now and giving the new data flow analysis, Makefile and dynamic analysis in remote mode, and C/C++ postfix completion a try. We are listening to your feedback carefully and planning the upcoming bug-fix updates accordingly. It’s also time to move forward and see what CLion 2021.2 may look like!

Function Templates - More Details about Explicit Template Arguments and Concepts

by Rainer Grimm

From the article:

In the last post "Function Templates", I wrote about the overloading of function templates and automatically deducing the return type of a function template. Today, I dive deeper and specify explicitly the template arguments of a function template and bring concepts into the play...

A Default Value to Dereference Null Pointers--Jonathan Boccara

Adding more readability.

A Default Value to Dereference Null Pointers

by Jonathan Boccara

From the article:

With C++17, modern C++ has acquired a nullable object: std::optional. optional has a pretty rich interface, in particular when it comes to handling null optionals.

On the other hand, the oldest nullable type in C++, pointers, doesn’t have any helper to make the handling of its nullity more expressive.

Let’s see what we can do about it, to make our code using pointers, smart or raw, easier to read...

New Static Analysis Rule for Bounds Checking--Jordan Maples

Will you try it?

New Static Analysis Rule for Bounds Checking

by Jordan Maples

From the article:

We have added a new experimental static analysis rule in Visual Studio 16.10 version Preview 3 – C26458, WARNING_PATH_SENSITIVE_USE_GSL_AT. The new warning is a more precise and less noisy version of warning C26446, WARNING_USE_GSL_AT. Both warnings analyse standard containers for unchecked element access and they both share the warning message: “Prefer to use gsl::at() instead of unchecked subscript operator (bounds.4).” This new warning, however, uses path sensitive analysis to track buffer size validation calls to provide a less noisy, more targeted warning compared to C26446...
