Advanced Tools for Better Productivity
summary
Slides and demos show concrete results: clang tools modernize code and emit specific refactors (Clang-Tidy converts auto_ptr, simplifies ternaries), static analyzers and CPPCheck catch different defects, sanitizers (e.g. address sanitizer, thread sanitizer) find races and leaks but miss some intra-object bounds and are defeated by optimization, fuzzing rapidly finds real crashes, PGO/LTO give measurable speedups, and hardening flags plus explicit memzero workarounds stop unsafe optimizations. Watch if wanting actionable tooling tradeoffs, demos, failure modes, and a working fuzz + sanitizer example.
