What’s Next: A Roadmap for CLion 2021.2

The future.

What’s Next: A Roadmap for CLion 2021.2

by Anastasia Kazakova

From the article:

CLion 2021.1 is now released along with the first bug-fix update 2021.1.1 addressing some of the most critical issues which unfortunately squeezed through our testing procedures. We do hope you are enjoying the update now and giving the new data flow analysis, Makefile and dynamic analysis in remote mode, and C/C++ postfix completion a try. We are listening to your feedback carefully and planning the upcoming bug-fix updates accordingly. It’s also time to move forward and see what CLion 2021.2 may look like!

New Static Analysis Rule for Bounds Checking--Jordan Maples

Will you try it?

New Static Analysis Rule for Bounds Checking

by Jordan Maples

From the article:

We have added a new experimental static analysis rule in Visual Studio 16.10 version Preview 3 – C26458, WARNING_PATH_SENSITIVE_USE_GSL_AT. The new warning is a more precise and less noisy version of warning C26446, WARNING_USE_GSL_AT. Both warnings analyse standard containers for unchecked element access and they both share the warning message: “Prefer to use gsl::at() instead of unchecked subscript operator (bounds.4).” This new warning, however, uses path sensitive analysis to track buffer size validation calls to provide a less noisy, more targeted warning compared to C26446...

Finding Bugs with AddressSanitizer: Patterns from Open Source Projects

by Kevin Cadieux

From the article:

AddressSanitizer (ASan) was officially released in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.9. We recently used this feature to find and fix a bug in the MSVC compiler itself. To further validate the usefulness of our ASan implementation, we also used it on a collection of widely used open source projects where it found bugs in Boost, Azure IoT C SDK, and OpenSSL. In this article, we present our findings by describing the type of bugs that we found and how they presented themselves in these projects. We provide links to the GitHub commits where these bugs were fixed so you can get a helpful look at what code changes were involved. If you are unfamiliar with what ASan is and how to use it, you may want to take a look at the AddressSanitizer documentation prior to delving into this article...

The monthly overview on upcoming C++ User Group meetings. A bit later then usual, seems my talk at C++now and announcing Meeting C++ 2021 has kept me a bit too busy.

Next week Tuesday: Meeting C++ online - May - Design Patterns - Facts and Misconceptions with Klaus Iglberger. If you're interested in this topic, Klaus also gives a training on Modern C++ and Design Patterns in June.
