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...

Here professionals, companies and students meet to share experience about C++ development and practices.The Italian C++ Conference 2021 is an online-only event, hosted on the Remo platform, consisting of live sessions and virtual networking.
Since the first edition back in 2016, the conference has hosted amazing speakers like Andrei Alexandrescu, Walter Brown, Michael Wong, James McNellis, Bartosz Milewski, Ivan Čukić, Jens Weller, Phil Nash, Anastasia Kazakova, Peter Sommerlad, Rainer Grimm, Marc Goodner, Vittorio Romeo, and many more.
What can I find in the Italian C++ Conference 2021?
We are scheduling:
- A never seen before keynote by Sean Parent
- 12 live tech talks about C++ development and practices
- all day long virtual networking
You can refer to the event page for more information.
How can I attend the virtual event?
The event will go live on June 19 from 8:30 AM CEST and will last for the entire day.
All the sessions will be hosted on our YouTube channel. However, only registered people can see session links in advance.
Virtual tables will be hosted on Remo, kindly made available by the Standard C++ Foundation. For invitation link and further details, you must register.
Who supports this event?
The event is totally organized by the Italian C++ Community and it is supported by the Standard C++ Foundation.
Do I need to register?
The Italian C++ Conference is totally free (as all the previous editions) but you must register to be invited to virtual tables and to receive session links in advance.
Direct link to (free) tickets here.
See you at the event, safely from home!

Finding Bugs with AddressSanitizer: Patterns from Open Source Projects
by Kevin Cadieux
From the article:
AddressSanitizer (ASan) was officially released in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.9. We recently used this feature to find and fix a bug in the MSVC compiler itself. To further validate the usefulness of our ASan implementation, we also used it on a collection of widely used open source projects where it found bugs in Boost, Azure IoT C SDK, and OpenSSL. In this article, we present our findings by describing the type of bugs that we found and how they presented themselves in these projects. We provide links to the GitHub commits where these bugs were fixed so you can get a helpful look at what code changes were involved. If you are unfamiliar with what ASan is and how to use it, you may want to take a look at the AddressSanitizer documentation prior to delving into this article...

Function Templates

From the article:
A function template is a family of functions. In this post, I want to dive deeper into function templates.

"How much longer are you going to build it?" - a phrase that every developer has uttered at least once in the middle of the night. Yes, a build can be long and there is no escaping it. One does not simply redistribute the whole thing among 100+ cores, instead of some pathetic 8-12 ones. Or is it possible?
How to speed up building ang analyzing of your project with IncrediBuild?
by Maxim Zvyagintsev
From the article:
At the same time, the build completed successfully, but something really bad happened now. I had to dig into the logs, or rather, the compilation dump. That's where I found the problem. The point was that these macros are declared in the local precompiled header, whereas we only want to preprocess the file. However, the include header that was used to generate the precompiled header is different from the one that is included to the source file! The file that is used to generate the precompiled header is a 'wrapper' around the original header included into the source, and this wrapper contains all of the required macros.

C++20 Coroutine: Under The Hood
by Vishal Chovatiya
From the article:
A coroutine is one of the major feature introduced with the C++20 standard apart from Module, Ranges & Concept. And you see how happy I am to unfold it. I already set the baseline on this topic with my previous article that Coroutine in C Language, where we saw, how suspension-resumption of execution works! With this article “C++20 Coroutine: Under The Hood”, we will see how compiler creates magic & standard library helps it with basic infrastructure making C++20 coroutine more sophisticated(yet complex) & scalable/customizable...

C++ standardization was dramatically different in 2020 from earlier years. The business of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) committee all took place virtually, much like everything else during this pandemic. This article summarizes the C++ standardization proposals before the Core and Evolution Working Groups last year...
