# Cppcheck 1.88 dev
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cppcheck is an analysis tool for C/C++ code. Unlike C/C++ compilers and many other analysis tools, it doesn't detect
|
||
|
|
syntax errors. Instead, Cppcheck detects the types of bugs that the compilers normally fail to detect. The goal is no
|
||
|
|
false positives.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Supported code and platforms:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- You can check non-standard code that contains various compiler extensions, inline assembly code, etc.
|
||
|
|
- Cppcheck should be compilable by any C++ compiler that handles the latest C++ standard.
|
||
|
|
- Cppcheck should work on any platform that has sufficient CPU and memory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please understand that there are limits of Cppcheck. Cppcheck is rarely wrong about reported errors. But there are
|
||
|
|
many bugs that it doesn't detect.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will find more bugs in your software by testing your software carefully, than by using Cppcheck. You will find
|
||
|
|
more bugs in your software by instrumenting your software, than by using Cppcheck. But Cppcheck can still detect some
|
||
|
|
of the bugs that you miss when testing and instrumenting your software.
