cppcheck is a static analysis tool for C/C++ code. It provides unique code analysis to detect bugs and focuses on detecting undefined behavior and dangerous coding constructs. The goal is to have very few false positives. Cppcheck is designed to be able to analyze your C/C++ code even if it has non-standard syntax (common in embedded projects).

BRANCH_NAME: 'main' # your branch name goes here| Option | Value | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| check_library | enable, disable |
Show information messages when library files have incomplete info | disable |
| skip_preprocessor | enable, disable |
Print preprocessor output on stdout and don't do any further processing | disable |
| enable | all, warning, style, performance, portability, information, unusedFunction, missingInclude |
Enable additional checks. if you want to enable multiple checking at once, separate them using , without any blank space. example: style,warning,performance |
all |
| exclude_check | ./path/to/ignore |
Give a file or directory path to exclude from checking. example: ./no_check.cpp |
nothing to ignore |
| inconclusive | enable, disable |
Allow that Cppcheck reports even though the analysis is inconclusive | enable |
| inline_suppression | enable, disable |
Enable inline suppressions. Use them by placing one or more comments, like: '// cppcheck-suppress warningId' | disable |
| force_language | c, c++ |
Forces cppcheck to check all files as the given language. Valid values are: c, c++ |
auto-detected |
| force | enable, disable |
Force checking of all configurations in files | disable |
| max_ctu_depth | number |
Max depth in whole program analysis. A larger value will mean more errors can be found but also means the analysis will be slower. example: 4 |
2 |
| platform | unix32, unix64, win32A, win32W, win64, avr8, elbrus-e1cp, pic8, pic8-enhanced, pic16, mips32, native, unspecified, |
Specifies platform specific types and sizes | unspecified |
| std | c89, c99, c11, c++11, c++14, c++17, c++20 |
Set the C/C++ standard | c11, c++20 |
| output_file | ./path/to/output/file.txt |
Give a filename for the output report | ./cppcheck_report.txt |
| other_options | --option1 --option2=value -opt3 |
Any other options you want to add, separate with a space, wrong options will cause a failure. example: --bug-hunting --verbose |
disable |
