We released the first version of PVS-Studio analyzer for Linux. Now Linux developers are getting a new powerful tool to fight bugs in the code.
PVS-Studio for Linux
From the news:
Starting with the 6.10 version, PVS-Studio analyzer supports not only Windows, but the Linux too.
PVS-Studio performs static code analysis and generates a report that helps a programmer find and fix bugs. PVS-Studio performs a wide range of code checks, it is also useful to search for misprints and Copy-Paste errors. Demonstrative examples of such errors: V501, V517, V522, V523, V571, V611.
The new Linux version (.deb, .rpm, .tgz) is available for download on the page: http://www.viva64.com/en/pvs-studio-download-linux/

by Andrew Pardoe
From the article:
Visual Studio “15” Preview 5 now includes the C++ Core Guidelines Checkers. This means you no longer have to install the C++ Core Check package from NuGet to check your code against rules and profiles in the C++ Core Guidelines. Just configure Code Analysis to include the C++ Core Check extensions.
