> 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.

- Recursively check the current directory, showing progress on the screen and logging error messages to a file:
2016-12-28 15:26:07 +00:00
`cppcheck . 2> cppcheck.log`
- Recursively check a given directory, and don't print progress messages:
2016-12-28 15:26:07 +00:00
`cppcheck --quiet {{path/to/directory}}`
2016-12-28 15:26:07 +00:00
- 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}}`
2016-12-28 15:26:07 +00:00
2019-04-22 13:44:54 +01:00
- List available tests:
2016-12-28 15:26:07 +00:00
2019-04-22 13:44:54 +01:00
`cppcheck --errorlist`
2016-12-28 15:26:07 +00:00
- Check a given file, ignoring specific tests:
`cppcheck --suppress {{test_id1}} --suppress {{test_id2}} {{path/to/file.cpp}}`
2016-12-28 15:26:07 +00:00
- Check the current directory, providing paths for include files located outside it (e.g. external libraries):
2016-12-28 15:26:07 +00:00
`cppcheck -I {{include/directory_1}} -I {{include/directory_2}} .`
2016-12-28 15:26:07 +00:00
- Check a Microsoft Visual Studio project (`*.vcxproj`) or solution (`*.sln`):
`cppcheck --project {{path/to/project.sln}}`
