| |
SAL is a meta-language that can help static analysis tools, such as the /analyze switch in Visual Studio 2005 Team System and Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Developers, find bugs-including security bugs-in your C or C++ code at compile time. Any bugs found in SAL annotated functions tend to be real bugs, not false positives, which has the benefit of speedier bug triage and code fixes.
