Cppcheck is a program for static code analysis for the programming languages C and C ++ . It is actively developed and published under the GNU General Public License . It supports a wide variety of tests and is able to check non-standardized code.
Functions
Cppcheck supports a number of static tests that compilers cannot or only partially perform, such as: B .:
- Array overflows
- Resource and memory leaks
- Use of obsolete functions
- Use of functions that are not thread safe are
- incorrect use of the standard template library
- Inaccuracies when calling standard C library functions, e.g. B. suspicious format strings in printf functions
- incorrect exception handling
- various speed and style optimizations
- incorrect use of pointer variables
- uninitialized variable
- "Suspicious" expressions such as B. Semicolon after condition
distribution
The program is distributed and co-developed by some Linux distributions and exists both independently and in the form of plug-ins for various development environments:
- Code :: Blocks (integrated)
- CodeLite (integrated)
- Eclipse
- Jenkins
- Visual Studio (via the plug-in Cppcheck add-in )
- PlatformIO (integrated)
In addition to the version for the command line, there is a graphical user interface based on Qt .
Cppcheck is used in some large projects and has already helped to find and fix bugs. These include the Linux kernel , OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice , Debian and MPlayer .
