We’ve been quiet for a while, sorry about that.

Hi,

It’s been a while since we posted anything on the blog. If you weren’t a customer, regularly receiving our software update emails you might think we weren’t doing anything.

That’s an oversight on our part. We’re hoping to rectify this over the next few months, posting more useful information both here and in the library.

_tempnam and friends

Our most recent update has been to update C++ Memory Validator provide memory tracking for the _tempnam group of functions. These are _tempnam, _tempnam_dbg, _wtempnam, _wtempnam_dbg.

This support is for all supported compilers, from Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio 2008, Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio 2003, Visual Studio 2002, Visual Studio 6. Delphi and C++ Builder, Metrowerks compiler, MingW compiler.

.Net support, for the future

Internal versions of C++ Coverage Validator can provide code coverage statistics for .Net (C#, VB.Net, J#, F#, etc) as well as native languages (C++, C, Delphi, Fortran 95, etc).

Internal versions of C++ Performance Validator can provide performance profiling statistics for .Net (C#, VB.Net, J#, F#, etc) as well as native languages (C++, C, Delphi, Fortran 95, etc).

UX improvements

All tools, free and paid, have had the UX for filename and directory editing improved so that if a filename doesn’t exist it is displayed in red and if it does exist it is displayed in it’s normal colour (typically black). See screenshots (from Windows 8.1).
