Code coverage analysis… what is it and why is it vital when qualifying libraries? And why have Solid Sands and Rapita Systems got...

Due to the high demand for C++ Standard Library qualification, we are actively developing tests, test specifications, and requirements for the C++ standard...

We are often asked what differentiates SuperTest from open-source test suites for C and C++. If you are using the LLVM or GCC...

The most safety-critical software tool in your application development process is the compiler. It generates virtually all the code in the application binary....

Telling the compiler which version of the language you are using is essential because it improves the portability of your code at very...

In the last blog of our trilogy about test generators, we’ll explain Tempest2. You might have seen it mentioned in a previous blog...

Compilers are highly complex machines with two areas that deserve extra scrutiny. They are the register allocator and the calling convention. While register...

The size of integers and other primitive types is not fixed by the C/C++ programming language specifications. It is implementation-defined. Unlike unspecified and...

The traditional industrial robot consists of an arm with multiple degrees of freedom and a specialized gripper. To prevent accidental injury to humans,...

As we pointed out in the previous blog, before we qualify a compiler for a safety-critical project, it’s essential we know all the...

Compilers comprise a complex pipeline of analysis and transformation stages. Changes in one stage are frequently amplified by subsequent stages. It makes compilers...

CEA List and Solid Sands entered into a partner agreement to make SuperTest available to the Frama-C team. Frama-C is a platform for...

We are pleased to see many companies in the automotive, industrial, medical, aviation, robotics and railway industries taking the safety of critical C++...

In the previous blog I argued in favor of undefined behavior in C. The behaviors I was talking about, such as integer overflow,...

Undefined behavior remains an elusive subject. On the one hand, it potentially exposes your program to dangerous situations and exploitations. On the other...
