The checks are addons that can be easily added/removed. * * @section writing_checks_sec Writing a check * Below is a simple example of a check that detect division with zero: * @code void CheckOther::checkZeroDivision() { // Iterate through all tokens in the token list for (const Token *tok = _tokenizer->tokens(); tok; tok = tok->next()) { if (Token::Match(tok, "/ 0")) reportError(tok, Severity::error, "zerodiv", "Division by zero"); } } @endcode * * The function Token::Match is often used in the checks. Through it * you can match tokens against patterns. * * * @section checkclass_sec Creating a new check class from scratch * %Check classes inherit from the Check class. The Check class specifies the interface that you must use. * To integrate a check class into cppcheck all you need to do is: * - Add your source file(s) so they are compiled into the executable. * - Create an instance of the class (the Check::Check() constructor registers the class as an addon that Cppcheck then can use). * * * @section embedding_sec Embedding Cppcheck * Cppcheck is designed to be easily embeddable into other programs. * * The "cli/main.cpp" and "cli/cppcheckexecutor.*" files illustrate how cppcheck * can be embedded into an application. * * * @section detailed_overview_sec Detailed overview * This happens when you execute cppcheck from the command line: * -# CppCheckExecutor::check this function executes the Cppcheck * -# CppCheck::parseFromArgs parse command line arguments * - The Settings class is used to maintain settings * - Use FileLister and command line arguments to get files to check * -# ThreadExecutor create more instances of CppCheck if needed * -# CppCheck::check is called for each file. It checks a single file * -# Preprocess the file (through Preprocessor) * - Comments are removed * - Macros are expanded * -# Tokenize the file (see Tokenizer) * -# Run the runChecks of all check classes. * -# Simplify the tokenlist (Tokenizer::simplifyTokenList) * -# Run the runSimplifiedChecks of all check classes * * When errors are found, they are reported back to the CppCheckExecutor through the ErrorLogger interface */ #include "cppcheckexecutor.h" /** * Main function of cppcheck * * @param argc Passed to CppCheck::parseFromArgs() * @param argv Passed to CppCheck::parseFromArgs() * @return What CppCheckExecutor::check() returns. */ int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { CppCheckExecutor exec; return exec.check(argc, argv); }
