This is a 30+ year-old codebase that originally started as pre-ANSI C. The design tradeoffs were very different at the time. I've managed to compile it as C++23 with unreasonably high warning levels, and it's now warning-free. How

Here is a real safety issue that I found and fixed a couple weeks ago. This is an ancient language runtime which originally ran on MS-DOS, Amiga, Atari, and at least a dozen now-discontinued commercial Unices. I've been porting it to 6

I'm not sure about static analyzers, but here are the clang warnings I use for my personal C++20 projects. You will get an enormous number of warnings from typical C++ code. I fix all of them, but doubt it would make sense to do so in

Porting 16-bit assembly is harder but porting C code from Win16 to Win32 is pretty easy. https://github.com/dbremner/cake is a 16-bit Windows 1.0 application that I ported to Win64; most of the changes weren't req

I don't think it has all of them, but [0] is a tarball from Research Unix that has some Writer's Workbench source code. The files are in cmd/wwb. Other tarballs may have more Writer's Workbench code but I haven't lo

ReSharper (and presumably IntelliJ) supports expression-based search and replace. Here are some commits where I used it to remove boilerplate from some test cases. The code was written long before MSTest added support for Assert.ThrowsExcep

Here is a character encoding issue that I ran into about a year ago. git does not support UTF-16LE[0]. The result is that UTF-16LE encoded files will be mangled[1] by the line ending conversion. There is at least one generated Visual Studio
