People ask us every now and then if we compared PVS-Studio with other static analyzers and wrote any articles about the results of such research. The answer is no, there's no such a compa...
Robert Maynard is a principal engineer at Kitware and spends most of his time as a primary developer of VTK-m. VTK-m is a HPC toolkit of scientific visualization algorithms for highly concurrent processor and accelerator architectures. It uses a fine-grained concurrency model for data analysis and visualization algorithms allowing for seamless execution on GPU's or many-core CPUs.
When not working on VTK-m, Robert is either; writing CMake code, teaching CMake, or working to improve CMake. http://cppcast.com/2019/07/robert-maynard/

In this talk, Robin Kuzmin, Firmware Developer, Zensa Inc., will tell about the following topics:
🔹 What the C++Now and Cppcon are. Brief history, purpose, and difference.
🔸 How to attend CppCon and get money for that.
🔹 How to attend C++Now and CppCon for free or partially for free.
🔸 How to avoid the expenses for the conference ticket, hotel, flight, pre-conf- and post-conf-classes.
🔹 How certain parts of the conferences work. Roles, tools, how one can participate and what it gives.
🔸 Future of C++Now and CppCon.
🔹 Annual time line of CppCon and C++Now. When to do what.
P.S. There will be bonus topics at the end of the talk :) https://youtu.be/ondHeigfZN0

It's a kind of humorous talk about the life of a development team which also deals with supporting C and C++ programmers. Actually, working with programmers is a lot of fun, and it is very productive. Not only can they send you a memory dump, but sometimes even partially solve the problem themselves and give you a hint.
However, there's a flip side. If they have a technical issue, be ready to consume pints of coffee and loads of cookies. I shall tell you about our interesting and funny experience related to technical support of the PVS-Studio analyser - for example, how the tool goes nuts when coming across a 26mb string literal.
