Introducing CodePeer 2.1 »
April 10, 2012 – 4:00pm GMT, 5:00pm CET, 11:00am EST
CodePeer is a source code analyzer that detects run-time and logic errors in Ada programs. This webinar, presented by Tucker Taft, will provide an overview of the technology, and focus on the new features introduced in this latest 2.1 release. These include support for Ada 2012 and its new syntax for specifying contracts, analysis of the elaboration of library units to enable detection of uninitialized global variables, better support for analysis of race conditions including new GPS reports, and more precise handling of preconditions and unused assignments. Presented by Tucker Taft, we will also allow for a Q&A session at the end of the presentation.

Unit testing with GNATtest webinar »
March 20, 2012 – 4:00pm GMT, 5:00pm CET, 12:00am EST
The InSight webinar series continues with a webinar demonstrating how to write unit tests in a cost-effective way using the AdaCore toolset. More precisely it will show how to generate the unit testing framework using GNATtest, how to run the tests on an emulator such as GNATemulator, and how to extract coverage results using GNATcoverage. This is primary aimed at developers and projects managers that already have unit testing infrastructure in place and are looking to reduce maintenance costs, as well as teams that are looking at implementing such techniques with minimal effort.

[SPARK] Unmoded globals permitted with flow=auto »
Previously, the Examiner enforced the rule that global annotations on procedures must always specify variable modes when in automatic flow analysis mode. This rule has now been relaxed, so modes may be omitted from globals if there is a derives annotation present. The Examiner will then infer the modes from the derives annotation as it does in information-flow mode. This means that legacy code with derives annotations and unmoded globals can be analysed with flow=auto.

[SPARK] Miscellaneous updates to Victor »
We have fixed a number of small issues with victor wrapper: timing information is now correctly stored in the .vct files; temporary files are now correctly deleted; temporary files can be placed in the current working directory and not deleted using the new -keep flag; and finally, experimental support for CVC4 has been added.
