SonarSource Analysis Tools

Rob and Jason are joined by Loïc Joly from SonarSource. They first discuss compiler updates in GCC and MSVC as well as survey results of most used C++ features. Then they talk to Loïc about the SonarSource static analysis tools for C++, what sorts of bugs they discover, and what goes into creating a new analysis rule. <h3>News</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://github.com/microsoft/STL/wiki/Changelog#expected-in-vs-2019-1610-preview-3">VS 2019 STL is C++20 feature complete</a></li> <li><a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2021-April/235922.html">GCC 11.1 Released</a></li> <li><a href="https://meetingcpp.com/blog/items/Meeting-Cpp-survey-results--the-most-popular-Cpp-standard-features.html">Meeting C++ survey results: the most popular C++ standard features</a></li> </ul> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.sonarsource.com/cpp/">SonarSource</a></li> <li><a href="https://blog.sonarsource.com/the-neverending-story-of-writing-a-rule-for-argument">The NeverEnding Story of writing a rule for argument passing in C++</a></li> </ul> <h3>Sponsors</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.embarcadero.com/products/cbuilder/start-for-free?utm_source=CppCast&amp;utm_medium=AffiliateOutreach&amp;utm_content=BannerCppCast">C++ Builder</a></li> </ul>
