In this article, we invite you to try to find a bug in a very simple function from the GNU Midnight Commander project. Why? For no particular reason. Just for fun. Well, okay, it's a lie. We actually wanted to show you yet another bug that a human reviewer has a hard time finding and the static code analyzer PVS-Studio can catch without effort.

Recently we have released PVS-Studio 7.00, the key innovation of which was the Java analyzer. The release has proved to be successful, as a big wave of beta-testing had come before that. Some of our clients who are using C++ or C# analyzers started to implement a check of Java code in their projects almost from the beta-stage. They were sending us interesting errors, which have been found in their code, as it usually happens during the first launches. There were also requests to finalize some integrations. However, some potential users were writing the following things: "Your analyzer will certainly be good. In a couple of years. When you debug it. In the meantime, we will not download and check it out". For me it sounds so strange and irrational that I decided to write this post and answer by giving a link in future.

The article tells about advantages and disadvantages of conferences, and gives advice to all the newbies that will help them to avoid mistakes and spend conference time productively.

At the beginning of 2018 our blog was complemented with a series of articles on the sixth check of the source code of the Chromium project. The series includes 8 articles on errors and recommendations for their prevention. Two articles sparked heated discussion, and l still occasionally get comments by mail about topics covered in them. Perhaps, I should give additional explanations and as they say, set the record straight.

Occasionally, we're asked a question, what monetary value the company will receive from using PVS-Studio. We decided to draw up a response in the form of an article and provide tables, which will show how the analyzer can be useful. We cannot prove absolute accuracy of all calculations in the article, but we suppose the reader will agree with our thoughts, and it will help to make a decision in the matter of getting the license.

Welcome to all fans of trashing someone else's code. :) Today in our laboratory, we have a new material for a research - the source code of the AWS SDK for .NET project. At the time, we wrote an article about checking AWS SDK for C++. Then there was not anything particularly interesting. Let's see what .NET of the AWS SDK version is worth. Once again, it is a great opportunity to demonstrate the abilities of the PVS-Studio analyzer and make the world a bit better.

In the seventh version of the PVS-Studio static analyzer, we added support of the Java language. It's time for a brief story of how we've started making support of the Java language, how far we've come, and what is in our further plans. Of course, this article will list first analyzer trials on open source projects.

Today is an important day - after 28 releases of the sixth version we present our PVS-Studio 7.00, in which the key innovation is the support of the Java language. However, during 2018 we have acquired many other important changes related to C++, C#, infrastructure and support of coding standards. Therefore, we bring to your attention a note that sums up the major changes that have happened in PVS-Studio for the last time.

In January, the EU is launching another big hunt for bugs in open-source software projects with the total bounty amount of about €850,000. Now, here's a hint: static analysis is one of the means to track down bugs in software's source code. For example, PVS-Studio is a good candidate for this work, especially because we have recently come up with a new type of free license for open-source projects.
