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

PVS-Studio 5.00: support of Embarcadero C++Builder, Windows Store and Windows Phone 8 applications in Visual Studio, and several hundreds of diagnostic rules

My name is Andrey Karpov. I develop software for developers, and I'm fond of writing articles on code quality issues. In this connection, I have met the wonderful man Walter Bright who has created the D language. In the form of an interview, I will try to learn from him how the D language helps programmers get rid of errors we all make when writing code.

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.

The article will familiarize application developers with tasks given them by the mass introduction of 64-bit multi-core processors symbolizing revolutionary increase of computing power available for an average user. It will also touch upon the problems of effective use of hardware resources for solving everyday applied tasks within the limits of Windows x64 operating system

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?

I decided to fool around a bit with the plugin and the picture to attract your attention. A whole lot of articles on programming regularly appear on the Internet, but most of them are unfortunately brief and all about nothing. But we are sure that our material is extremely useful, and it will be a pity if it remains unnoticed. We tell our users in every detail about how to develop plugins in C# for the Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010/2012 development environment. This material is based on our own experience and describes some subtleties you won't read anywhere about.

This article covers the extension of Visual Studio IDE through integration of a custom user toolwindow into the environment. Discussed are the issues of window registration and initialization in VSPackage and Add-In plug-in modules, hosting of user components and handling of window's events and states.

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.

Creating extension packages (plug-ins) for Microsoft Visual Studio IDE appears as quite an easy task at the first sight. There exist an excellent MSDN documentation, as well as various articles, examples and a lot of other additional sources on this topic. But, at the same time, it could also appear as a difficult task when an unexpected behavior is encountered along the way. Although it can be said that such issues are quite common to any programming task, the subject of IDE plug-in development is still not thoroughly covered at this moment. Part1

Many programmers are very fond of blaming the compiler for different errors. Let's talk about it.

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.

JSHint is a tool to detect errors and potential problems in JavaScript code.

We started with the basics that every JavaScript and jQuery developer knows: variables, arrays, functions, classes, DOM manipulation, and many more. Then, with the help of the Dart team, we recorded the corresponding Dart versions of each idiom. To practice what we learned, we wrote this app with Dart.

-prefix-free lets you use only unprefixed CSS properties everywhere. It works behind the scenes, adding the current browser's prefix to any CSS code, only when it's needed.
