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.
- 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}
- 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}
