The spam folder is empty. Indeed it seems that your address was not in my whitelist. I've added it now. Hope this solves my problem. I will find out for sure in the following days. Thanks for your reply.

Hy all! This is my problem: i like to read the news that codeproject sends every day but sometimes they don't get send. Or at least I don't receive them. I could come here on the site and read them in the news section but i just forget to do so. My email address is an yahoo address and they don't show up in spam or something like that. Any ideas on this?

Don't get me wrong! I love Codeproject.

As I read through the posts in The Lounge, I sometimes stumble upon a serious question and most of the answers given by members are off topic or plain nonsense. What's up with that? ;P

I came across PC-Lint myself a few days ago... Now that it has been recommended to me by 2 out of 4 people that replied to my message i have to say i'm getting quite interested. The only problem is PC-Lint does not offer a trial version... It would be nice if I could give it a try for a few days...

Hy all, Trying to keep the bug count as low as possible i thought i'd use a tool that performs static code analysis on my c/c++ projects. I already use one that performs runtime verifications and analysis but i have a feeling there's room for improvement. There are a lot of tools out there and i simply have a hard time choosing one. What do you recommend? It can be proprietary or not...

Over 1 year... even i don't know how i managed. over 1 year.. no kidding!

I think a good starting point is the ieee standard for writing software specifications ( software requirements specifications to be more exact ). Here’s a link http://standards.ieee.org/reading/ieee/std\_public/description/se/830-1998\_desc.html I hope it helps!
