PVS-Studio 7.10 Release: OWASP, AUTOSAR, SARIF

We develop PVS-Studio not only as a classic code analyzer, but also in the direction of Security and Safety. In this regard, we've started working on the support of the OWASP and AUTOSAR C++14 standards. To facilitate PVS-Studio integration into other code quality control tools, we supported analyzer results conversion to the SARIF format.

PVS-Studio 7.10 Release: OWASP, AUTOSAR, SARIF

by Andrey Karpov

From the article:

Utilities for converting PVS-Studio analysis results (PlogConverter.exe for Windows and plog-converter for Linux\macOS) now support conversion to SARIF (Static Analysis Results Interchange Format). SARIF is a universal open format for presenting the results of tools that search for errors, safety and security defects. This format is supported by many static analyzers and allows you to combine various code quality control tools in a single ecosystem.

CLion 2020.3 EAP: Postmortem Debug With a Core File

by Anastasia Kazakova

From the article:

In the previous 2020.3 EAP build we were focused on giving run/debug configurations and CMake profiles more flexibility in CLion, and at the same time we introduced a bundled tool for collaborative development and pair programming. In this EAP update we are adding one of the most long-awaited features in debugger – postmortem debug with a core file!

C++20 Modules Compiler Code Under Review, Could Still Land For GCC 11

by Michael Larabel

From the article:

With C++20 one of the major features added is that of modules as a modern alternative to that of conventional C++ header files for packages. The C++20 modules code for the GNU Compiler Collection that has been in the works for several years is now under review and could potentially still land for the GCC 11 release next year...

Teresa Johnsons Meeting C++ 2020 Center Keynote: ThinLTO Whole Program Optimization

Taking a look at next weeks keynote by Teresa Johnson

Teresa Johnsons Center Keynote: ThinLTO Whole Program Optimization: Past, Present and Future

by Jens Weller

From the article:

Whole program optimization enables higher performance in C++ applications, because of the expanded scope for analysis and optimization. Traditionally, whole program optimization is not scalable in memory or time, and doesn't support effective incremental builds. ThinLTO (Thin Link Time Optimization) is a new compilation model that...

Programming with C++20's Concepts [In Spanish] -- Daniel G Vergel

This post revisits the well-known Insertion Sort algorithm as a way to learn and practice several new C++20 features such as concepts, ranges, and projections.

Programming with C++20's Concepts

by Daniel G Vergel

About the article

The article, written in Spanish, follows very closely the way I introduce these topics to my Computer Engineering students at the European University (Madrid, Spain). As previous posts, it tries to mitigate the lack of educational materials on modern C++ currently available in my native language. Code examples are nevertheless self-explanatory and may be of interest to non-Spanish readers as well.

A Tour of C++ Modules in Visual Studio

by Will Buik

From the article:

C++ module support has arrived in Visual Studio! Grab the latest Visual Studio Preview if you want to try it out. C++ modules can help you compartmentalize your code, speed up build times, and they work seamlessly, side-by-side with your existing code.

This preview only supports C++ modules in the IDE for MSBuild projects. While the MSVC toolset is supported by any build system, Visual Studio’s IDE support for CMake doesn’t support C++ modules yet. We will let you know once it is! As always, please try it out and let us know if you have any feedback...
