Myths about static analysis. The third myth - dynamic analysis is better than static analysis.
While communicating with people on forums, I noticed there are a few lasting misconceptions concerning the static analysis methodology. I decided to write a series of brief articles where I want to show you the real state of things.
The third myth is: "Dynamic analysis performed by tools like valgrind for C/C++ is much better than static code analysis".
Intel Tool Helps SW Developers Develop More Secure Applications
There has been a steady occurrence of security breaches at prestigious companies over the last weeks, months and years. These breaches are becoming far too frequent and, as the folks at Amazon and Zappos know, expensive.
90 errors in open-source projects
There are actually 91 errors described in the article, but number 90 looks nicer in the title. The article is intended for C/C++ programmers, but developers working with other languages may also find it interesting.
Using xilink with /Qipo and /Qparallel options may cause an Internal compiler error
Using xilink with "ipo" and "parallel" options simultaneously with the Intel® Compiler 11.0 initial release may cause an internal compiler error.
Have your cake and eat it too - part 2
In the first part of this article I described how you can “have your cake and eat it too” with respect to programmable use of Hyper Threading or no Hyper Threading through use of thread team selection attributes on the parallel_for construct in the QuickThread® programming tool kit.
In this part I will describe the test bed application and results data as run on an Intel Core i7 2600K Sandy Bridge (no over clocking).

This English idiomatic proverb or figure of speech dating back to 1546 is used to describe situations where “you can’t have it both ways.” Considering that this blog is posted on a website which, barring a few exceptions, has a preponderance of content relating to programming and computers. So where does this idiomatic proverb fit in with typical content found on this website?
