Cppcheck The Cppcheck team

Cppcheck is a static analysis tool for C/C++ code designed to detect bugs that compilers typically do not identify. Its primary focus is on real errors in the code with zero false positives.

Key Features:

• Zero False Positives: Ensures only genuine issues are reported.
• Memory Leak Detection: Identifies potential resource leaks.
• Undefined Variable Usage: Detects variables used without proper initialization.
• Null Pointer Checks: Highlights improper handling of null pointers.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works seamlessly across different operating systems.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for developers and teams working on safety-critical or high-quality C/C++ projects. It helps improve code reliability, maintainability, and overall software quality by identifying subtle bugs that are often missed during standard compilation.

Cppcheck can be installed via winget.
