What is Cppcheck?
Cppcheck offers static code analysis for C and C++ projects, providing a unique method for detecting bugs, undefined behavior, and potentially dangerous code constructs. The tool is tailored to analyze code with non-standard syntax, often present in embedded system projects, making it suitable for a wide array of development environments.
With both a command line interface and a graphical user interface, Cppcheck makes it convenient to integrate thorough static analysis into various stages of software development. Its bi-directional flow analysis sets it apart from other static analyzers, allowing the detection of issues that may be missed by path-sensitive methods. Open source and premium versions are available, accommodating both community and enterprise needs.
