This tag will allow to add some preprocessor defs into library. It would be useful to provide more information about libraries implementation details. As example GLib's library include tag was added that helps to detect more memory leaks. |

Cppcheck 
Donations

About the name
The original name of this program was "C++check", but it was later changed to "Cppcheck".
Despite the name, Cppcheck is designed for both C and C++.
Manual
A manual is available online.
Compiling
Any C++ compiler should work.
To build the GUI, you need Qt.
When building the command line tool, PCRE is normally used. PCRE is optional.
There are multiple compilation choices:
- qmake - cross platform build tool
- Windows: Visual Studio or Qt Creator or MinGW
- gnu make
- g++
qmake
You can use the gui/gui.pro file to build the GUI.
cd gui
qmake
make
Visual Studio
Use the cppcheck.sln file. The rules are normally enabled.
To compile with rules (PCRE dependency):
- the PCRE dll is needed. It can be downloaded from here.
To compile without rules (no dependencies):
- remove the preprocessor define
HAVE_RULESfrom the project - remove the pcre.lib from the project
Qt Creator + MinGW
The PCRE dll is needed to build the CLI. It can be downloaded here: http://software-download.name/pcre-library-windows/
GNU make
Simple build (no dependencies):
make
The recommended release build is:
make SRCDIR=build CFGDIR=cfg HAVE_RULES=yes
Flags:
-
SRCDIR=buildPython is used to optimise cppcheck
-
CFGDIR=cfgSpecify folder where .cfg files are found
-
HAVE_RULES=yesEnable rules (PCRE is required if this is used)
g++ (for experts)
If you just want to build Cppcheck without dependencies then you can use this command:
g++ -o cppcheck -Ilib cli/*.cpp lib/*.cpp
If you want to use --rule and --rule-file then dependencies are needed:
g++ -o cppcheck -lpcre -DHAVE_RULES -Ilib -Iexternals cli/*.cpp lib/*.cpp externals/tinyxml/*.cpp
MinGW
make LDFLAGS=-lshlwapi
Cross compiling Win32 (CLI) version of Cppcheck in Linux
sudo apt-get install mingw32
make CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++ LDFLAGS="-lshlwapi"
mv cppcheck cppcheck.exe
