Why should you care about C/C++ static analysis?
Many resources discuss the benefits of using the static analysis tools, and how they could help you improve your code base. Somehow they show you what you could gain after using them. But did you asked yourself what do you lose if you don’t use them?
Let’s take an example of a memory corruption due to free of a pointer twice, this cause random crash. It could take few hours or maybe many days to find this kind of issue. Many similar risky problems exist in C/C++ specially concerning memory corruption. Just one problem could cost few dollars or many thousands of dollars. Continue reading “Why should you care about C/C++ static analysis?”
Two easy approaches to leverage your C++ OOP design skills.
Coupling is usually contrasted with cohesion. Low coupling often correlates with high cohesion, and vice versa. Low coupling is often a sign of a well-structured computer system and a good design, and when combined with high cohesion, supports the general goals of high readability and maintainability. The goal of this case study is to show the benefits of loose coupling and high cohesion, and how it can be implemented with C++. The case study consists of designing an application that accesses a file in order to get data, processes it, and prints the result to an output file.

Doom3 is the proof that “keep it simple” works.
If you search on the web for the best C++ source code. The Doom3 source code is mentioned many times, with testimonials like this one.
I spent a bit of time going through the Doom3 source code. It’s probably the cleanest and nicest looking code I’ve ever seen.
