It's not new. PVS Studio has been around since 2010. The product
looks nice, but I've never found time to evaluate it myself.

What's new is that there appears to be a Linux version. However, that
is only for the site-license version, and there is no information or
demo for it. It would appear that the Linux version is currently very
much an experimental version - it may even require MSVS for Linux to use
it fully.

Prices are on enquiry - nothing is shown on their website.

So it might be a nice and useful product, but it is very hard to tell if
it would be useful or cost-effective for any given usage. And it seems
to be very strongly biased towards MSVC usage (that's just a comment,
not a criticism).

I think OP was just a spam and no discussion with tool manufacturers
will follow. IOW, the usual.

I expect you are right (the OP is from the company that makes this
software) - in which case it's a kind of reverse advertising. "See how
rude and thoughtless we are - now you definitely won't want to buy
anything from us."

But /maybe/ this spammer will be different, and read this thread, and
follow up with an apology for spamming and then contribute to the group.
That would be /real/ advertising.

No harm in a bit of wildly unrealistic optimism on occasion :-)
