The traditional reasons for preferring C to C++ have been steadily whittled away. Are there any good reasons to still use C?

PVS-Studio is a static analyzer that detects errors in source code of C/C++/C++11 applications. The PVS-Studio tool integrates into the Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010 environment.

It is an open-source testing framework for java programmers. The java programmer can create test cases and test his/her own code. It is one of the unit testing framework. Current version is junit4. To perform unit testing, we need to create test cases.

We have a practice of occasionally re-analyzing projects we have already checked with PVS-Studio. There are several reasons why we do so. For example, we want to know if we have managed to eliminate false positives for certain diagnostics. But the most interesting thing is to see how new diagnostic rules work and what errors they can find. It is very interesting to watch the tool catch more and more new defects in a project that seems to be cleaned out already. The next project we have re-checked is Clang.

We have checked the Windows 8 Driver Samples pack with our analyzer PVS-Studio and found various bugs in its samples. There is nothing horrible about it - bugs can be found everywhere, so the title of this article may sound a bit high-flown. But these particular errors may be really dangerous, as it is a usual practice for developers to use demo samples as a basis for their own projects or borrow code fragments from them.

AJAX allows you to send only important information to the server not the entire page. So only valuable data from the client side is routed to the server side. It makes your application interactive and faster.

Let us know whether you predict C++ is primed for a resurgence in market share by taking this one-question poll.

The best way to advertise a static code analyzer is to find errors in open source projects and share them with the world. We have been using this method for a long time while promoting our tool PVS-Studio. If you have ever heard of PVS-Studio, it was most likely from our articles reporting on the checks of such projects as Chromium, WinMerge, TortoiseSVN, Apache HTTP Server, Qt, Clang and many others.

Static analysis tools' users often wonder how to fulfill the task of searching for certain code fragments. For instance, how to find a function longer than 1000 lines; or how to find a class containing more than 100 methods; or which functions contain the largest (or the smallest) number of comments. Why do they want to know it?
