Finding Bugs with AddressSanitizer: Patterns from Open Source Projects

by Kevin Cadieux

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...

Announcing Meeting C++ 2021 online conference!

by Jens Weller

Finally I can announce the official start of this years conference with the begin of the call for talks and the first batch of tickets available!

Meeting C++ 2021 will be from 10th - 12th November (Wed- Fri) and 100% online. Thats different from last year, when part of the planning always had to keep in mind that a hybrid event might become the "better" format due to venue contracts. This was one of the reasons last years conference was single track. Like every year the conference will run under Berlin Code of Conduct.

The most popular C++ standard features

by Jens Weller

Continuing the series about the Meeting C++ survey results with a look at the standard features. Last week I compared the ISOCPP survey to the one of Meeting C++.

When I was looking into the questions I could ask in the survey tool, it came to my mind that it would be interesting to know more about the details of standards, not just asking for which standard folks use in various ways. So in this blog post, I'm going to show you the questions about standard feature usage.
