cppcheck

all

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.

Options (1)

-q, --quietboolean

Recursively check a given directory, and don't print progress messages

Example: cppcheck {{[-q|--quiet]}} {{path/to/directory}}

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 [-q|--quiet] path/to/directory

Check a given file, specifying which tests to perform (by default only errors are shown)

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
