NAME
cppcheck - Simple syntax checking of C/C++.
SYNOPSIS
cppcheck [--append [file]] [--enable=[id]] [--error-exitcode=[n]]
[--force] [--help] [-I[dir]] [-j[jobs]] [--quiet] [--style]
[--suppressions [file]] [--template ['text']]
[--unused-functions] [--verbose] [--version] [--xml]
[file or path] ...
DESCRIPTION
Tool for static C/C++ code analysis intended to complement the checking
of the compiler. Checks for: memory leaks, mismatching
allocation-deallocation, buffer overrun, and many more.
OPTIONS
Analyze given C/C++ files for common errors.
--append=[file]
This allows you to provide information about functions by providing
an implementation for these.
--enable=[id]
Enable specific checks. The available ids are:
all
Enable all checks.
exceptNew
Check exception safety when using new.
exceptRealloc
Check exception safety when reallocating.
style
Check coding style.
unusedFunctions
Check for unused functions.
Several ids can be given if you separate them with commas, e.g.
--enable=style,unusedFunctions.
--error-exitcode=[n]
If errors are found, integer [n] is returned instead of default 0.
EXIT_FAILURE is returned if arguments are not valid or if no input
files are provided. Note that your operating system can modify this
value, e.g. 256 can become 0.
-f, --force
Force checking of files that have a lot of configurations. Error is
printed if such a file is found so there is no reason to use this
by default.
-h, --help
Print help text.
-I [dir]
Give include path. Give several -I parameters to give several
paths. First given path is checked first. If paths are relative to
source files, this is not needed.
-j [jobs]
Start [jobs] threads to do the checking work.
-q, --quiet
Only print something when there is an error.
-s, --style
Deprecated, use --enable=style
--suppressions [file]
Suppress warnings listed in the file. Filename and line are
optional. The format of the single line in file is: [error
id]:[filename]:[line]
--template ['text']
Format the error messages. E.g.
'{file}:{line},{severity},{id},{message}' or
'{file}({line}):({severity}) {message}'. Pre-defined templates:
gcc, vs
--unused-functions
Deprecated, use --enable=unusedFunctions
-v, --verbose
More detailed error reports
--version
Print out version information
--xml
Write results in xml to error stream
