cppcheck

A static analysis tool for C/C++ code. Instead of syntax errors, it focuses on the types of bugs that compilers normally do not detect. More information: http://cppcheck.sourceforge.net.

• Recursively check the current directory, showing progress on the screen and logging error messages to a file:
  cppcheck . 2> cppcheck.log
• Recursively check a given directory, and don't print progress messages:
  cppcheck --quiet {{path/to/directory}}
• Check a given file, specifying which tests to perform (by default only errors are shown):
  cppcheck --enable={{error|warning|style|performance|portability|information|all}} {{path/to/file.cpp}}
• List available tests:
  cppcheck --errorlist
• Check a given file, ignoring specific tests:
  cppcheck --suppress={{test_id1}} --suppress={{test_id2}} {{path/to/file.cpp}}
• Check the current directory, providing paths for include files located outside it (e.g. external libraries):
  cppcheck -I {{include/directory_1}} -I {{include/directory_2}} .
• Check a Microsoft Visual Studio project (*.vcxproj) or solution (*.sln):
  cppcheck --project={{path/to/project.sln}}
