PVS-Studio Journal, Issue #4
We often attend conferences dedicated to programming as sponsors. That is, we have a booth where we tell about static code analysis in general and our PVS-Studio in particular. Besides, we sometimes give talks submitted on general grounds. We don’t have that many talks as we wish :).
We’ve mainly attended Russian conferences so far but, beginning this year, we’re planning to aim for the foreign ones. We have gained experience participating in local conferences and we are ready to take the next step. For example, our colleague Yuri Minaev has recently been notified that his talk ‘Paranoid’s Take on C++ Code Review’ was approved by C++ on Sea conference (7-10 June 2020, https://cpponsea.uk/index.html ). It will be our first time participating in this conference and we are happy to have an opportunity to meet new people. And while we’re at it, we’ll try to sponsor the conference and place a booth.
We are still porting PVS-Studio for C# to .NET Core. Making progress!
We have also started to write new C++ diagnostic (micro optimization): after failed refactoring it might have happened that a class doesn’t have base classes, is declared as final and has a virtual table (for example, virtual function and a virtual destructor). The most important point is that it should be final and a compiler won’t let you inherit from this class.
struct Base final
{
virtual ~Base() {}
};
Thus, the analyzer won’t approve this weird class and will offer to optimize it by removing virtual.
After the article about the merch, which we take on the conferences, has been published, a lot of people asked us if there was any chance they could get our statuses for programmers, and other things. We just sent them by post. And yes, that’s how it works: you ask – we send :). If you’d like to get those too just let us know. I think, not many people read this journal, so there won’t be any influx. It’s kind of scary to make a promise and fail to keep it, you know :). By the way, here is the article ‘MERCH! MERCH! MERCH! And...Unicorns’.- https://www.viva64.com/en/b/0709/
