PVS-Studio challenge: can you spot an error in C++ code?

By Andrey Karpov | Jun 29, 2022 12:16 PM | Tags: quiz pvs-studio code review bugs

PVS-Studio team made an entertaining quiz for you. Try to quickly find a bug in a code fragment. If you spot an error - click on it.

Challenge: can you spot an error in C++ code?

by Andrey Karpov

From the article:

You'll see ten code fragments. If you manage to find an error in under 1 minute, you score one point. The 1-minute limit is made on purpose. Otherwise you'll definitely find all errors — code fragments are short. Anyway, treat this quiz as a game, and not as a real test of your programming skills smile

PVS-Studio 7.19: C++ analyzer now works better with QNX compilers and Unreal Engine 5

By Andrey Karpov | Jun 24, 2022 02:06 AM | Tags: unreal engine 5 ue5 sast qnx pvs-studio

Recently, we have released a new PVS-Studio version — 7.19. In this note, we'll tell you about new features in the analyzer, the enhanced documentation, as well as what to read and... what to play.

PVS-Studio 7.19: what's new?

by Sergey Vasiliev

From the article:

Now, you can use PVS-Studio to analyze projects on Unreal Engine 5. For the most part, projects on UE 5 are analyzed in the same way as projects on UE 4. The difference is described in the documentation.

Introducing Scapix - automatic C++ bindings generator -- Boris Rasin

Using C++ with other languages.

Scapix Language Bridge - seamless integration of C++ with other languages

by Boris Rasin

From the article:

Bindings automatically generated directly from C++ headers during build - no need to manually maintain separate IDL definitions or manual bindings. Make a change in your C++ code, press build, then call your new code from Java, Objective C, Swift, Python, JavaScript or C#. Often this would be done in the same IDE, allowing continuous seamless cross-language development.

HPX V1.8.0 released -- STE||AR Group

By Hartmut Kaiser | May 25, 2022 07:59 AM | Tags: performance parallelism heterogeneous computing distributed computing concurrency c++23 c++20 c++17 c++14 c++11

The STE||AR Group has released V1.8.0 of HPX -- A C++ Standard library for Concurrency and Parallelism.

HPX V1.8.0 Released

We have released HPX 1.8.0 -- a major update to our C++ Standard Library for Concurrency and Parallelism. The HPX parallel algorithms now have been fully adapted to C++20, all existing facilities have been adjusted to conform to this version of the Standard as well. We now can proudly announce full conformance to the C++20 concurrency and parallelism facilities. HPX supports all of the algorithms as specified by C++20. On top of that we support parallel versions of all range-based algorithms and have added support for explicit vectorization to more of our algorithms (using std::experimental::simd). Much work has been done towards implementing P2300 (std::execution) and the underlying senders/receivers facilities. Last but not least, we have finished the refactoring of the whole library into a rather large set of non-cyclically depending components. Finally, the new release comes with a brand new documentation interface!

You can download the release from our releases page or check out the 1.8.0 tag using git. A full list of changes can be found in the release notes.

HPX is a general-purpose parallel C++ runtime system for applications of any scale. It implements all of the related facilities as defined by the C++20 Standard. As of this writing, HPX provides the only widely available open-source implementation of the new C++17 and C++20 parallel algorithms, including a full set of parallel range-based algorithms. Additionally, HPX implements functionalities proposed as part of the ongoing C++ standardization process, such as large parts of the features related parallelism and concurrency as specified by the upcoming C++23 Standard, the C++ Concurrency TS, Parallelism TS V2, data-parallel algorithms, executors, and many more. It also extends the existing C++ Standard APIs to the distributed case (e.g., compute clusters) and for heterogeneous systems (e.g., GPUs).

HPX seamlessly enables a new Asynchronous C++ Standard Programming Model that tends to improve the parallel efficiency of our applications and helps reducing complexities usually associated with parallelism and concurrency.

All the reasons to try it!

MSVC’s STL Completes /std:c++20

by Casey Carter

From the article:

We are happy to announce that the final C++20 Standard Library features are now stabilized and available in /std:c++20 mode in both Visual Studio 2022 version 17.2 and Visual Studio 2019 version 16.11.14. This notably includes several proposals approved as Defect Reports (DRs) by the C++ Standard Committee against the C++20 Standard Library that made extensive design changes to <format> and <ranges> as recently as October 2021. You can now use the complete list of C++20 features in production in a binary compatible way with other supported language version modes...
