The PVS-Studio team has analyzed over 200 open-source projects with their static code analyzer. Among them are such titles as Unreal Engine, Php, Haiku, Qt, and even Linux. In each of these projects, bugs of varying severity were detected. The team regularly reports the analysis results in their blog. Each post is a separate article of several pages, describing in detail each of the bugs found and giving recommendations on how to fix them. The PVS-Studio team decided to go further to create a service of tips and recommendations on C/C++ usage, CppHints.com, in addition to the practice of writing articles. Within the scope of this service, the team publishes 1 recommendation/tip per day. Each publication delivers concentrated information on C/C++ programming approaches and techniques used in various situations and includes examples of correct and incorrect language use from over 200 open-source projects.
