Why we need dynamic code analysis: the example of the PVS-Studio project

PVS-Studio corporate blog C++ *Visual Studio *Development for Windows *

In May 2021, CppCast recorded a podcast called ABI stability (CppCast #300). In this podcast, Marshall Clow and the hosts discussed rather old news — Visual Studio compilers support the AddressSantitzer tool. We have already integrated ASan into our testing system a long time ago. Now we want to tell you about a couple of interesting errors it found.

Analyze your builds programmatically with the C++ Build Insights SDK

Microsoft corporate blog Programming *C++ *Visual Studio *API *
We’re happy to announce today the release of the C++ Build Insights SDK, a framework that gives you access to MSVC build time information via C and C++ APIs. To accompany this release, we are making vcperf open source on GitHub. Because vcperf itself is built with the SDK, you can use it as a reference when developing your own tools. We’re excited to see what sort of applications you’ll be building with the SDK, and we’re looking forward to receiving your feedback!

Visual Studio for Mac: Take Control of Your IDE with Keybindings

Microsoft corporate blog Visual Studio *Development for MacOS *
The great debates in computing all have one common theme. Whether it is tabs vs. spaces or Vi vs. Emacs, the thread linking all these debates together is keyboard efficiency. The truth is, we spend tons of hours working in an application, and keyboard shortcuts become automatic to us, the same muscle memory that great pianists or sports players have. If you suddenly give a virtuoso pianist a piano where the keys are half as wide and the sharp/flat keys are below as opposed to above the natural keys, they will struggle to make even the most basic melodies while they learn the new arrangement. Likewise, when it comes to keyboard shortcuts in your favorite IDE, any change can be disorienting quickly. Luckily, Visual Studio for Mac offers a ton of customizations to key bindings that will allow you get configure your key combinations to your liking.

SARIF SDK and Its Errors

PVS-Studio corporate blog Programming *Visual Studio *C# *Development for Windows *

Picture 2

Today we have another high-quality Microsoft project to be checked, which we'll heroically delve into trying to find errors with PVS-Studio. SARIF, an acronym for Static Analysis Interchange Format, which is a standard (file format), designed to interact and share the results of static analyzers with other tools: IDEs, complex code verification and analysis tools (e.g. SonarQube), continuous integration systems, etc. SARIF SDK, respectively, contains .NET developer tools to support SARIF as well as additional files.

Azure SDK for .NET: Story about a Difficult Error Search

PVS-Studio corporate blog Visual Studio *C# *Microsoft Azure Development for Windows *

Picture 2


When we decided to search for errors in the Azure SDK for .NET project, we were pleasantly surprised by its size. «Three and a half million lines of code,» we kept saying, studying the project's statistics. There might be so many findings. Alas and alack! The project turned out to be crafty. So what was the zest of the project and how it was checked — read in this article.

AI-assisted IntelliSense for your team’s codebase

Microsoft corporate blog Programming *Visual Studio *Machine learning *Artificial Intelligence
Visual Studio IntelliCode uses machine learning to offer useful, contextually-rich code completion suggestions as you type, allowing you to learn APIs more quickly and code faster. Although IntelliCode’s base model was trained on over 3000 top open source C# GitHub repositories, it does not include all the custom types in your code base. To produce useful, high-fidelity, contextually-rich suggestions, the model needs to be tailored to unique types or domain-specific APIs that aren’t used in open source code. To make IntelliSense recommendations based on the wisdom of your team’s codebase, the model needs to train with your team’s code.

Earlier this year, we extended our ML model training capabilities beyond our initial Github trained base model to enable you to personalize your IntelliCode completion suggestions by creating team models trained on your own code.

Cool WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) tips and tricks

Microsoft corporate blog Configuring Linux *Visual Studio *Development for Linux *Development for Windows *
It's no secret I dig WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and now that WSL2 is available in Windows Insiders Slow it's a great time to really explore the options that are available. What I'm finding is so interesting about WSL and how it relates to the Windows system around it is how you can cleanly move data between worlds. This isn't an experience you can easily have with full virtual machines, and it speaks to the tight integration of Linux and Windows.

Look at all this cool stuff you can do when you mix your peanut butter and chocolate!

Apply Nix-Shell environment in Visual Studio Code

*nix *Visual Studio *Development for MacOS *Development for Linux *
Tutorial


A lot of developers faced a problem with packages hell on their workstation. After a couple of months with experiments, including different languages and toolchains, I installed Elixir, Haskell-stack, Node.js/NVM, and other various stuff. Most exciting things happen when you need different versions of the same package for different projects. Humanity already invented a different solution for creating an isolated environment and switch them when needed. We are using NVM to manage Node.js versions, Python Virtual Env for selecting Python stuff versions or Docker for creating OS inside an OS. But none of the solutions satisfy all my requirements for the isolated development environment.

Announcing Support for Native Editing of Jupyter Notebooks in VS Code

Microsoft corporate blog Python *Programming *.NET *Visual Studio *
With October release of the Python extension, we’re excited to announce the support of native editing of Jupyter notebooks inside Visual Studio Code! You can now directly edit .ipynb files and get the interactivity of Jupyter notebooks with all of the power of VS Code.

You can manage source control, open multiple files, and leverage productivity features like IntelliSense, Git integration, and multi-file management, offering a brand-new way for data scientists and developers to experiment and work with data efficiently. You can try out this experience today by downloading the latest version of the Python extension and creating/opening a Jupyter Notebook inside VS Code.



Since the initial release of our data science experience in VS Code, one of the top features that users have requested has been a more notebook-like layout to edit their Jupyter notebooks inside VS Code. In the rest of this post we’ll take a look at the new capabilities this offers.
