+List of bugs that c++check finds

+
+Buffer overrun:
+
+    // using numeric array index
+    char str[100];
+    str[100] = 0;
+
+    // using constant array index
+    char str2[SIZE];
+    str[SIZE] = 0;
+
+    // Calculating array index with constants and numbers
+    int i[100];
+    i[sizeof(i)-1] = 0;
+
+    // In some cases, it's detected when a variable causes buffer overrun:
+    char str[100];
+    for (int i = 0; i <= 100; i++)
+        str[i] = 0;
+
+    // Using 'strcpy' and 'strcat' can result in buffer overrun..
+    char str[3];
+    strcpy(str, "abc");
+
+
+
+Memory leaks:
+
+    // No deallocation at all
+    {
+        Fred *fred = new Fred;
+    }
+
+    // Mismatching allocation / deallocation
+    char *str = new char[10];
+    delete str;     // Should be 'delete [] str'
+
+    // An execution path may prevent a variable from being deallocated:
+    char *str = new char[10];
+    if (ab == cd)
+        return;    // or 'continue' or 'break'
+
+
+
+Class constructors:
+
+    Check that all member variables are initialized.
+
+    Check that all private member functions are used.
