Cppcheck
A tool for static C/C++ code analysisCppcheck is a static analysis tool for C/C++ code. It provides unique code analysis to detect bugs and focuses on detecting undefined behaviour and dangerous coding constructs. The goal is to detect only real errors in the code (i.e. have very few false positives).
Cppcheck is a static code analysis tool for the C and C++ programming languages. It is a versatile tool that can check non-standard code.The creator and lead developer is Daniel Marjamäki.

Other static analysis tools
- Using a battery of tools is better than using one tool. Each tool has unique code analysis and therefore we recommend that you also use other tools.
- Cppcheck focus on bugs instead of stylistic issues. Therefore a tool that focus on stylistic issues could be a good addition.
- Cppcheck tries very hard to avoid false positives. Sometimes people want to detect all bugs even if there will be many false warnings, for instance when they are working on a release and want to verify that there are no bugs. A tool that is much more noisy than Cppcheck might be a good addition.
- Even tools that have the same design goals as Cppcheck will probably be good additions. Static analysis is such a big field, Cppcheck only covers a small fraction of it. No tool covers the whole field. The day when all manual testing will be obsolete because of some tool is very far away.
