• prem_kumar_25 Static Analyzer reports buffer overrun in comdef.h: C6386

  The static analyzer doesn't like a section of code in the standard include file comdef.h(258): m_pszMsg = (LPTSTR)LocalAlloc(0, 32 * sizeof (TCHAR)); if (m_pszMsg != NULL) { WORD wCode = WCode(); if (wCode != 0) { _COM_PRINTF_S_1(m_pszMsg, 32, TEXT( "Unknown error 0x%0lX" ), m_hresult); To me this seems a hick-up of the static anaylzer.

  I deleted a project using TFSDeleteProject (with the force option) but my VS 2005 IDE Source Control Explorer still shows the deleted source code folder root (with a single TeamBuildTypes folder with a red X thru it).  The funny thing is is that if I go to another machine and log in with the same credentials the particular folder does not show up.  Looks like there is some sort of hanging artifact on my local work machine that isn't ge ...Show All

• cobra99sc If-Then-?

  In one of the bug database analysis, I'd found that lots apparently isolated different bugs got tracked down to one simple coding mistake: The missing ' else '. It is quite common for programmers to write if (condition) {} and not write the ' else ' part.
