Finding Bugs with Clang at Compile and Run Time

Explore advanced techniques for detecting and preventing bugs in C/C++ programming using Clang's powerful features in this ACCU 2016 conference talk. Dive into the world of code analysis and verification, focusing on both compile-time static analysis and runtime sanitizers. Learn how to leverage Clang's static analysis capabilities to identify common C/C++ traps and pitfalls, and create a custom code checker implementing one of Scott Meyers' Effective C++ rules. Discover the power of sanitizers for runtime code instrumentation, enabling detection of issues such as undefined behavior, memory leaks, data races, and uninitialized memory reads. Witness live coding demonstrations showcasing the practical application of these techniques, and gain insights from real-world experiences applying these methods to large-scale C++ projects. Enhance your software quality assurance skills and learn to effectively combine static and dynamic analysis approaches to significantly improve code reliability and performance.
