=========
C++ check
=========
Compiling
Any C++ compiler should work.
There are no dependencies.
The Makefile works under Linux.
To make it work under Windows, change "g++" to "gxx".
I haven't been able to test it on other platforms.
Usage
The syntax is:
cppcheck [--all] [--style] [--recursive] [filename1] [filename2]
The error messages will be printed to stderr.
Example (Check all files. Use all checks):
cppcheck -style --all --recursive
Recommendations
Create a shell script that checks all files.
See "checkproj.bat" for an example of how it can be done under Windows.
When the "--all" flag is given you may get a lot of error messages.
To dump the messages to a textfile you can use a command like this:
cppcheck --all filename.cpp 2> messages.txt
If you want to filter the messages you could use:
* grep to filter out specific types of messages
* diff to compare old messages with new messages. There are even GUIs for
this.
Suggestions
I'd like to get suggestions about new checks.
