This document advertises the PVS-Studio static analyzer. It describes how using PVS-Studio reduces the number of errors in code of C/C++/C++11 projects and costs on code testing, debugging and maintenance. A lot of examples of errors are cited found by the analyzer in various Open-Source projects. The document describes PVS-Studio at the time of version 4.38 on October 12-th, 2011, and therefore does not describe the capabilities of the tool in the next versions.

This document summarizes the findings of a study analyzing the copy and paste behavior of over 20,000 Eclipse IDE users over 20 months. The study found that IDE users copy and paste code differently than regular computer users. Specifically, IDE users were found to copy and paste more within files, engage in more consecutive "relay" copy and paste operations, and copy and paste less between different files than regular users. The study also found a large number of copy and paste operations occurred between different editor types, indicating clone detection tools need to detect clones across programming languages.
Regular use of static code analysis in team developmentPVS-Studio
Static code analysis technologies are used in companies with mature software development processes. However, there might be different levels of using and introducing code analysis tools into a development process: from manual launch of an analyzer "from time to time" or when searching for hard-to-find errors to everyday automatic launch or launch of a tool when adding new source code into the version control system.
The article discusses different levels of using static code analysis technologies in team development and shows how to "move" the process from one level to another. The article refers to the PVS-Studio code analyzer developed by the authors as an example.

Even if you correct all compilation errors and warnings, it does not mean that a 64-bit application will work well. So it is the description and diagnosis of 64-bit errors that we will deal with in the most lessons of our course. And one more thing - do not rely on the switch /Wp64 which is described by many people (often unreasonably) in forum discussions as a wonderful tool able to find 64-bit errors.
Questions concerned with the release of drivers for 64-bit versions of Windows are considered in this article. Some typical problems and the ways of their solutions are listed in the article as well as tools which simplify the process of drivers developing.

Static code analysis for verification of the 64-bit applicationsPVS-Studio
The coming of 64-bit processors to the PC market causes a problem which the developers have to solve: the old 32-bit applications should be ported to the new platform. After such code migration an application may behave incorrectly. The article is elucidating question of development and appliance of static code analyzer for checking out of the correctness of such application. Some problems emerging in applications after recompiling in 64-bit systems are considered in this article as well as the rules according to which the code check up is performed.
The forgotten problems of 64-bit programs developmentPVS-Studio
Though the history of 64-bit systems development makes more than a decade, the appearance of 64-bit version of OS Windows raised new problems in the sphere of development and testing applications. In the article there are considered some mistakes connected with 64-bit C/C++ code development to OS Windows. The reasons are explained according to which these mistakes didn't find their reflection in the articles devoted to the migration tasks and are unsatisfactorily detected by the majority of static analyzers.
The document discusses Visual Studio's live static code analysis feature. It explains that this feature analyzes code in real-time as it is written, without requiring compilation, to detect errors and potential issues based on installed code analyzers. The document demonstrates how to install and use code analyzers through examples, showing how analyzers detect issues and provide suggestions to fix problems directly in the code editor through light bulb notifications. It provides a case study walking through fixing various issues detected in sample code using suggestions from an analyzer to iteratively improve the code quality.

Introduction into 64 bits for the beginners or where's again the 64-bit world?PVS-Studio
1) The transition to 64-bit computing began in 2003-2004 but has not been fully realized yet due to various challenges.
2) One challenge was the lack of 64-bit operating systems and drivers, as well as 64-bit versions of most popular software programs.
3) Porting existing 32-bit software to 64-bit versions proved difficult, as unexpected errors could occur, and testing tools were not adequate for discovering 64-bit specific issues until recently.

Brief description of the VivaCore code analysis libraryPVS-Studio
While investigating the sphere of static analysis and working on the creation of the Viva64 tool our team came to a conclusion that the most part of the developed structures and algorithms can be united into a library and used by third-party developers for creating new software products. This library has been named VivaCore.
SonarQube provides several benefits: it increases sustainability and productivity by reducing complexity and code duplication; ensures code quality by detecting errors; and allows for consistency, business scaling, and enhancing developer skills through feedback. Potential alternatives to SonarQube include JSHint for JavaScript and Coverity for static code analysis. SonarLint is beneficial as it highlights issues and fixes in real-time as code is edited to save time versus full builds. The key components of SonarQube's architecture are the Sonar scanner, source code, Sonar analyzer plugin, and underlying database.
Traps detection during migration of C and C++ code to 64-bit WindowsPVS-Studio
Appearance of 64-bit processors on PC market made developers face the task of converting old 32-bit applications for new platforms. After the migration of the application code it is highly probable that the code will work incorrectly. This article reviews questions related to software verification and testing. It also concerns difficulties a developer of 64-bit Windows application may face and the ways of solving them.
How Virtual Compilation Transforms Static Code AnalysisCheckmarx
Many assume that code analysis requires code compilation as a prerequisite. Today, all major static code analyzers are built on this assumption and only scan post compilation - requiring buildable code. The reliance on compilation has major and negative implications for all stake holders: developers, auditors, CISOs, as well as the organizations that hope to build a secure development lifecycle (SDLC). Historically, static code analysis required a complete and buildable project to run against, which made the logical place to do the analysis at the build server and in-line with the entire build process. The “buildable” requirement also forced the execution of the scan nearer the end of the development process, making security repairs to code more expensive and greatly reducing any benefits.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

1. Viva64: What Is It, and Who Is It for?
Author: Evgeniy Ryzhkov
Date: 30.07.2007
At present, Viva64 and VivaMP software products are included in PVS-Studio as parts of it and are no
longer distributed as separate applications. Please use PVS-Studio program to obtain the necessary
possibilities of code verification.
Abstract
Viva64 is a tool designed for software developers. With this tool, you can easily convert 32-bit
applications to 64-bit ones.
A problem of the nearest future: release of 64-bit applications
Personal computers with 64-bit processors appeared on the market only at the beginning of 2006. Right
after that, developers began to modify their applications to make them compatible with the new
architecture. However, it suddenly turned out that applications could work incorrectly when running on
new platforms. Standard means of diagnostics do not allow determining the new class of errors that
occur in applications, and it is not good to leave those errors unfixed either.
The necessity to convert applications to 64-bit ones placed developers in a difficult situation. The
behavior of applications that have worked for years without any problems has become unpredictable.
Of course, there is more random access memory for applications, however, when working with greater
amounts of data applications may hang, crash, or even they may generate useless files instead of the
needed results.
Viva64 is a solution to the problem
One of possible solutions that can be used to search for errors when converting code is the use of
special tools - static code analyzers. Viva64 is one of such tools. It is a code analyzer that finds potential
errors in applications written in C and C++.
Viva64 is integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 as its extension module. Below is the appearance
of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 with Viva64 integrated into it.

3. Figure 1. The appearance of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 with Viva64 integrated into it.
This allows developers to work with Viva64 in a familiar environment - there is no need to spend time on
familiarizing with a new interface. Viva64 just adds a few new elements (in Fig.1 they are marked with
interface.
4. red): the Viva64 menu item, a toolbar containing Viva64 commands and a window containing the list of
found problems. Any developer can easily figure out how to work with Viva64.
Figure 2 demonstrates an example of Viva64 documentation. This is a description of one of the errors
found by the code analyzer. The description is in the format that is compatible with the standard MSDN
help system, and it can be automatically integrated into it. So, developers will not have to familiarize
themselves with a new help system.

Viva64 allows you to:
• find incorrect constructions in code (from the point of view of 64 bit applications);
64-bit
• make a precise and complete diagnostic of errors, right up to the line number and error
cise
description;
• navigate to incorrect code snippets;
• analyze the aftermath an error may cause. This is done with the help of detailed documentation
that is integrated into the MSDN help system;
6. • find ways to fix problems by using examples the documentation contains;
• analyze the code of the entire project or solution (in Microsoft Visual Studio terminology), but
not only single files.
Viva64 and competitors' products
I'd like to name the main competitors of Viva64, as well as similar means of analysis.
First of all, I'd like to note that Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 already includes a primitive tool that
searches for possible conversion problems. However, this tool is not a Viva64 competitor, since it
provides only preliminary code analysis. Viva64 provides a much higher level of code analysis and
diagnostics.
Below is a list of tools that are similar to Viva64:
• Parasoft C++test (www.parasoft.com);
• Gimpel Software PC-Lint (www.gimpel.com).
The above-mention products are code analyzers as well. Here is what makes Viva64 different:
1. Viva64 searches only for those errors that occur during code conversion. The competitive tools
are general-purpose code analyzers. Though it is announced that the competitive tools can
search for conversion problems, it's actually hard to use them to analyze Windows applications.
The point is that they are mainly intended for Unix applications.
2. Viva64 is completely integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio, which makes it possible to navigate
to files, projects and solutions, jump to problematic code snippets and use the integrated help
system.
3. Since Viva64 is used only for one purpose (it searches only for conversion errors) it's very easy to
customize it. Viva64 is ready to function right after it is installed, which is a real advantage that
the competitive products do not have.
Conclusions
In general, I can say that the use of Viva64 will allow you to greatly reduce the time needed to prepare
64-bit applications for the release. This happens because potentially dangerous code snippets are found
automatically - there is no need to spend a lot of time searching for them manually.
Also, Viva64 brings your applications to a higher quality level. It's quite possible that developers can miss
some errors when analyzing code manually. Viva64 allows you to avoid this.
