Supercharge Your C++ analysis with SonarLint for CLion

By philsquared | Oct 4, 2021 11:04 AM | Tags: None

SonarSource recently released the SonarLint plug-in for CLion - this article looks at some of the interesting rules (checks) this gives you, and how each tool enhances the other.

Supercharge your C++ analysis with SonarLint for CLion

by Phil Nash and Geoffray Adde

From the article:

In this post, we want to demonstrate the powerful capabilities of the C++ analyzer with SonarLint (a free, in-IDE static analysis plugin) and highlight some unique and interesting rules that you might find useful. Through that lens, we want to show how you can leverage them to elevate your CLion’s inbuilt static analysis capabilities.

CppCon 2021 Code Analysis++--Anastasia Kazakova

By Adrien Hamelin | Oct 1, 2021 02:59 PM | Tags: community

Registration is now open for CppCon 2021, which starts on October 24 and will be held both in person and online. To whet your appetite for this year’s conference, we’re posting some upcoming talks that you will be able to attend this year. Here’s another CppCon future talk we hope you will enjoy – and register today for CppCon 2021 to attend in person, online, or both!

Code Analysis++

Tuesday, October 26 • 7:45am - 8:45am

by Anastasia Kazakova

Summary of the talk:

Martin Fowler once wrote that high-quality software is actually cheaper to produce than low-quality software. We agree with that sentiment, and we warmly welcomed the C++ Core Guidelines when they were introduced in 2015. Research and surveys conducted in the C++ Community consistently demonstrate the popularity of the Clang family of tools, as well as the growing demand for static analysis to be added to code editors.

In this talk, we’ll explore the current capabilities of existing C++ static analyzers and discuss some of the enforcements listed in the C++ Core Guidelines from a toolability aspect. We’ll also look into the recent “Simplify C++” trend in the language’s evolution, and to wrap things up we’ll take a look at how technology-specific analysis (like MISRA and AUTOSAR) is being adopted.

A variety of checks will be discussed, from catching a dangling pointer to conforming to the preferred code style and naming scheme. And I want to share a crazy idea I have about gamifying static analysis. Let’s play!

CWE Top 25 2021. What is it, what is it for and how is it useful for static analysis?

By Andrey Karpov | Sep 29, 2021 01:23 PM | Tags: static analysis sast pvs-studio devtool cwetop25 cwe cvss common weakness enumeration

For the first time PVS-Studio provided support for the CWE classification in the 6.21 release. It took place on January 15, 2018. Years have passed since then and we would like to tell you about the improvements related to the support of this classification in the latest analyzer version.

CWE Top 25 2021. What is it, what is it for and how is it useful for static analysis?

by Mikhail Gelvih

From the article:

We have been using the CWE classification for PVS-Studio diagnostics for more than three years. Their number increases every year. In 2018, we covered only 94 points on the CWE list. Now it's almost 130. However, this article isn't about the total number of diagnostics. Let's talk about those that are included in the list of the most dangerous diagnostics in 2021. If you want to read the full list, you can get it in the "CWE compliance" section of our documentation.

CppCon 2020 Constructing Generic Algorithms: Principles and Practice--Ben Deane

By Adrien Hamelin | Sep 27, 2021 12:48 PM | Tags: community

Registration is now open for CppCon 2021, which starts on October 24 and will be held both in person and online. To whet your appetite for this year’s conference, we’re posting videos of some of the top-rated talks from our most recent in-person conference in 2019 and our online conference in 2020. Here’s another CppCon talk video we hope you will enjoy – and why not register today for CppCon 2021 to attend in person, online, or both!

Constructing Generic Algorithms: Principles and Practice

by Ben Deane

Summary of the talk:

"You have all these algorithms at your disposal. *Learn them.*"
-- Sean Parent, GoingNative 2013.

Great advice, and the algorithms can do a lot. But they can't do everything, and the fixed set in the standard was never meant to be the last word in every problem. Sometimes we do need to write our own solutions. What are the best practices for that?

This talk examines how to build our own algorithms. We'll start with a raw loop that solves a nontrivial problem, and turn it into a generic algorithm capable of supporting a wide variety of use cases without loss of expressivity or efficiency.

Along the way we'll consider algorithmic patterns, how to structure the
interface, how the types interact, iterator category concerns, testing, and
more. We'll look at how ranges and concepts help us to refine and focus things.

We'll also see where the existing algorithms fall short, and take a look at some non-obvious use cases, including some minor modifications or wrappings that give us extra flexibility.

C++20 Coroutines — Complete* Guide--Šimon Tóth

C++20 Coroutines — Complete* Guide

by Šimon Tóth

From the article:

C++20 brought us initial support for coroutines. In this article, we will go over several examples of coroutines that build upon each other. Word of warning, though, the support in C++20 is mainly targeted at library implementors. C++23 should be bringing additional support that should cover at least the most common use cases...
