Announcement of the largest and most interesting promotional article (70 sheets) about static code analysis

Of all the types of advertising, quite a small amount of it is accounted for by tools for programmers. Display advertising (television, radio, popular print media) is very expensive (as payment goes for a potentially large audience) and much by (as there are very few programmers among them). Advertising on specialized sites is often not as effective either, because, firstly, programmers' eyes are “swept away” by advertising automatically, and, secondly, programmers know about AdBlock. Making videos to work with the program - not all programs look colorful and bright, so that they can be interesting to remove. Thus, almost the only way to communicate your product to the world is to honestly and objectively show how good it is with real examples.



Promoting the static code analyzer PVS-Studio for C / C ++ / C ++ 11, we are committed to finding program errors in well-known open source projects and describe them in our articles. During our work we have accumulated a huge number of software errors that we found in the coolest software projects. We found errors in Apache, Chromium, Clang, Miranda IM, Qt, TortoiseSVN, WinMerge and many, many others. We have collected the most interesting mistakes in one place in order to get the biggest advertising article in the world.

The whole article consists of 70 pages, but only 10 of them are devoted to the description of the static code analysis technology and our own PVS-Studio tool. The remaining 60 pages are examples of errors (i.e. program code) with our comments. Any programmer who masters at least scroll through the entire article will be absolutely sure of the usefulness of the tool and will want to look at it more closely. Because the article is not marketers enthusiasm, but only found software errors, which, as some believe, real programmers can not allow.

We understand what to do an advertising article on 70 sheets, 85% of which is occupied by the code and its discussion is not accepted. That is why we made the MOST NON-STANDARD ADVERTISING OF TOOL FOR PROGRAMMERS. Read the article about errors found with PVS-Studio. And be horrified by what mistakes are in the coolest software projects.

Read the biggest article.

PS We did not publish the entire article (source) on Habré, since the epic opus on 70 sheets is still not a format, and can confuse many.
