ActiveState Code is a site for learning from and sharing code recipes - with a focus on dynamic languages and languages used for web development.
The recipes you'll find here highlight programming best practices and can be used directly in day-to-day tasks, as a source of ideas, or as a way to learn more about languages or libraries. We invite you to contribute code, comments, and ratings for recipes. The recipes are freely available for review and use.
For the purpose of testing our C/C++ analyzer PVS-Studio, we often check various open-source projects and publish reports about bugs we have found. It is obvious that we seek projects of large sizes (hundreds of thousands of code lines), as there is little to be tested and caught in just a few dozens of files. We already had opportunities to test large collections consisting of hundreds of small open-source projects, for example sets of test samples for various SDKs and Frameworks. We are especially interested in checking such collections to see how the analyzer supports various specific code constructs, Visual C++ project subtypes, and so on.
wxCode is a place where anyone can submit his code snippets for wxWidgets. It's also a place where code may be maintained by anyone interested. Maintainer ship is always decided by the current maintainer or by the project manager. A maintainer may resign anytime so any code snippet will be marked as maintained or not.
PVS-Studio is a static analyzer that detects errors in source code of C/C++/C++11 applications. There are sets of rules included into PVS-Studio:
General-purpose diagnosis
Detection of possible optimizations
Diagnosis of 64-bit errors (Viva64)
Diagnosis of parallel errors (VivaMP)
"Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework that allows developers to write applications once and deploy them across many desktop and embedded operating systems without rewriting the source code. "
Source code documentation generator tool.
Doxygen is a documentation system for C++, C, Java, Objective-C, Python, IDL (Corba and Microsoft flavors), Fortran, VHDL, PHP, C#, and to some extent D.
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.
Lazarus is a free and open source development tool for the FreePascal Compiler. The purpose of the project is to serve as a Code Repository, Wiki Knowledgebase and support site for converting existing components and libraries to work with Lazarus and FPC
Yes, you've guessed correctly - the answer is "42". In this article you will find 42 recommendations about coding in C++ that can help a programmer avoid a lot of errors, save time and effort. The author is Andrey Karpov - technical director of "Program Verification Systems", a team of developers, working on PVS-Studio static code analyzer. Having checked a large number of open source projects, we have seen a large variety of ways to shoot yourself in the foot; there is definitely much to share with the readers. Every recommendation is given with a practical example, which proves the currentness of this question. These tips are intended for C/C++ programmers, but usually they are universal, and may be of interest for developers using other languages.
QCodeEdit is a framework designed to make edition of source code easy for both users and developers.
It is written in C++ using the Qt 4 framework which make it cross-platform.
ecoder is an open-source web-based code editor, with real-time colour syntax highlighting, which allows multiple documents to be edited directly online at the same time. mecoder made possible thanks to editarea javascript wizardy.requirementsecoder works with most standards compliant browsers which have javascript enabled. internet explorer 6 is not supported.
This site contains information on hundreds of different file types, data types, hardware interface details and all sorts of other useful programming information; algorithms, source code, specifications, etc.
The Google Visualization API lets you access multiple sources of structured data that you can display, choosing from a large selection of visualizations. Google Visualization API enables you to expose your own data, stored on any data-store that is connected to the web, as a Visualization compliant datasource. Thus you can create reports and dashboards as well as analyze and display your data through the wealth of available visualization applications. The Google Visualization API also provides a platform that can be used to create, share and reuse visualizations written by the developer community at large.
