/**
*
* @mainpage Cppcheck
* @version 1.60
*
* @section overview_sec Overview
* Cppcheck is a simple tool for static analysis of C/C++ code.
*
* The method used is to first tokenize the source code and then analyse the token list.
* In the token list, the tokens are stored in plain text.
*
* The checks are written in C++. 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
