Independent game developers, whether single enthusiasts or teams, are faced with the grave problem of having to eliminate bugs from their code.

And here's where the extensive list of QA tools comes in handy, among which static analysis is one of the crucial ones. It's this methodology that will be covered in this article. Specifically, you will find out how PVS-Studio can help indie developers in the difficult process of bug search. https://www.gamedev.net/blogs/entry/2270792-pvs-studio-for-indie-developers/

Rob and Jason are joined by Joël Lamotte. They first talk about C++20 Modules support in GCC and MSVC and a micro benchmarking library. Then they talk to Joël about how he got involved in C++, and his experiences working on indie video games, robotics and his recent transition to the audio industry working on a web assembly powered website. 🔗 https://cppcast.com/joel-lamotte/

Rob and Jason are joined by Artem Dinaburg and Ryan Eberhardt. They first talk about a new version of CMake that was just released, an interview with Bjarne Stroustrup and another month of new ISO papers. Then they talk to Artem and Ryan who talk about fuzz testing, including a new fuzz testing project being worked at Trail of Bits to enable fuzz testing on the GPU. 🔗https://cppcast.com/fuzz-testing-gpu/

Rob and Jason are joined by Robert Leahy. They first talk about an open source flappy bird clone and the C++ framework it was built with. Then they talk to Robert Leahy about the Networking TS that will hopefully be a major feature of C++23.

What if we told you that you can choose the project that should be checked using PVS-Studio yourself?😮

Now you can do it! Visit the link below and add an open-source project that we should analyze 👇📩

🔍Have you ever used a statistical analysis tool on a new large project?

If you have, you must know that the first scan may produce over 1 thousand and in some cases over 10 thousand warnings. 📑

Luckily, you can control which warnings you want to work with. For example, you can limit the analysis to your project's newest code. 👶🏻

This video describes one of the ways to do so. We call this approach mass suppression, and it is especially helpful for large projects.
Have fun watching this video and coding 🙂https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IwR8gnFKCw
