Newly Enhanced Versions Of CodeWizard for C++ and Java Coming Soon!MONROVIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 1997--ParaSoft Corp., the leading developer of tools that streamline software development, will soon be releasing new versions of CodeWizard for C++ and CodeWizard for Java. The newly enhanced CodeWizards will make it even easier to design, develop and maintain even the most complex programs. Enforcing New "Rules" for Effective Programming CodeWizard for C++ and CodeWizard for Java work by automatically enforcing "rules of effective programming." These rules are based on guidelines developed by nationally recognized C++ and Java experts, as well as coding standards devised by major software houses. By enforcing these rules automatically, CodeWizard makes it easy for everyday C++ and Java developers and managers to reap the benefits of expert advice and tutelage TUTELAGE. State of guardianship; the condition of one who is subject to the control of a guardian. . The latest releases of CodeWizard for C++ and CodeWizard for Java include all-new rules for effective programming. As with previous versions of CodeWizard for C++/Java, users can customize rule enforcement to turn on/off enforcement of individual rules. The latest release of CodeWizard for C++ includes the following new rules: --Declare the public, protected and private sections of a class in that orde.r --Use () instead of(void) when declaring a function. --If, else, while, for and do statements shall be followed by a block, even if it is empty. --Control structures that execute a single command shall be enclosed en·close also in·close tr.v. en·closed, en·clos·ing, en·clos·es 1. To surround on all sides; close in. 2. To fence in so as to prevent common use: enclosed the pasture. within a block. --Use the :: operator whenever a global function or variable is referenced. --Do not use public data members. --Do not use protected data members. --Do not make constructors or destructor (programming) destructor - A function provided by a class in C++ and some other object-oriented languages to delete an object, the inverse of a constructor. inline. --If a class has a virtual function it shall have a virtual destructor. --Never return a non-const pointer or reference to a data member from a public member function. --Define at least one constructor. --If a class has any pointers, define a copy constructor A copy constructor is a special constructor in the C++ programming language used to create a new object as a copy of an existing object. This constructor takes a single argument: a reference to the object to be copied. and an assignment operator. New rules for CodeWizard for Java include: --Avoid public instance variables. --First present all public methods/data in a Class. --Avoid hiding member variables in member functions. --Implement interfaces non-trivial or abstract manner. --Use "equals" over "==". --Use "StringBuffer" instead of "String." With these new additions to their rule sets, CodeWizard for C++ and CodeWizard for Java will automatically detect more design and programming flaws in a developer's source code than was possible with previous versions. By using CodeWizard as an "early warning system," developers can dramatically reduce the time they spend on debugging (programming) debugging - The process of attempting to determine the cause of the symptoms of malfunctions in a program or other system. These symptoms may be detected during testing or use by real users. and maintenance later on, resulting in a faster overall development schedule. Just as it helps software developers improve the quality of their own code, CodeWizard helps software managers speed up development, meet tight release dates, and better control the quality and consistency of code produced across development teams and departments.
