Therefore, most likely, now each release will be followed by a special note so that users don't miss changes that may be useful to them. What's interesting is that from now on we won't just list everything that was added or improved. Rather, now on the contrary, the purpose is to highlight the most important features in the news to avoid having just a boring list of changes.
PVS-Studio 7.09
by Andrey Karpov
From the article:
New general analysis diagnostics:
- V1059. Macro name overrides a keyword/reserved name. This may lead to undefined behavior.
- V1060. Passing 'BSTR ' to the 'SysAllocString' function may lead to incorrect object creation.
- V1061. Extending 'std' or 'posix' namespace may result in undefined behavior.
- V1062. Class defines a custom new or delete operator. The opposite operator must also be defined.
- V1063. The modulo by 1 operation is meaningless. The result will always be zero.

SYCL is an open standard developed by the Khronos™ Group that enables developers to write code for heterogeneous systems using standard C++.
New Features in SYCL 2020
by Codeplay
About the blog:
The SYCL 2020 specification has been released for public review as a provisional specification and the group is looking for developers to provide their valuable feedback before the final version is published and ratified. In this blog engineers from Codeplay that are also contributors to the SYCL Working Group, the team that defines the standard within Khronos, talk about what they think will make developing with SYCL even better when using SYCL 2020.

Static code analysis is most effective when changing a project, as errors are always more difficult to fix in the future than at an early stage. We continue expanding the options for using PVS-Studio in continuous development systems. This time, we'll show you how to configure pull request analysis using self-hosted agents in Microsoft Azure DevOps, using the example of the Minetest game.
PVS-Studio: analyzing pull requests in Azure DevOps using self-hosted agents
by Alexey Govorov
From the article:
The result is a build system based on MSBuild for C++, with Chocolatey for installing PVS-Studio, CMake, and Git. Vcpkg is built for convenient management of the libraries that the project depends on. Also, we have to download the latest version of the Azure Pipelines Agent. To initialize the agent from the ENTRYPOINT Docker file, the PowerShell script 'entrypoint.ps1' is called, to which you need to add the URL of the project's "organization", the token of the agent pool, and the PVS-Studio license parameters....

Initial Support For C++20 Ranges
by Casey Carter
From the article:
We are happy to announce that Visual Studio 2019 version 16.6 contains the first user-visible pieces of C++20 Ranges support. We’ve been working on support machinery for a few releases now, but in this release the tip of the iceberg has finally broken the surface of the water and there are now some tools available for users. The Ranges implementation critically depends on C++ Concepts, and as such is usable with both MSVC and Clang in their C++20 Preview modes but not yet well-supported by IntelliSense. (Don’t worry, we’ll have proper IntelliSense support soon.)...
