* Code changes for Token::mImpl optimisation * Added new TokenImpl optimisation Moving members to the TokenImpl struct reduces the size of the Token class, which is a fairly significant optimisation. In my testing on Windows with 32-bit Release-PCRE, this change reduced the size of the Token class from 108 bits to 52 bits and reduced run-time of my test case by around 20%. * Several optimisations Deleted some code that ran very slowly and did nothing, as there is no need to change a Token's string to null if you are about to delete it. Added a frontToken to simplifyCalculations to reduce the amount of work it has to do on already-simplified calculations. Moved template removal to the end of the list as this reduces redundant iteration and saves time. * Added tok argument to simplifyCalculations This means callers can avoid unnecessary work if they know which tokens have already been simplified. Passing nullptr indicates the original behaviour (starting from the front of the list). * Removed mention of member from another change * Re-added and optimised some code deleted in error Changing mTemplateInstantiations to a vector avoids the high cost of doing repeated linear searches. Changing how the code iterates through the array was necessary because the vector can be resized at several points during the loop, which breaks existing references and iterators. * Changed mTemplateInstantiations to a vector This is an optimisation that makes repeated linear searches of this collection significantly faster. Also added a copy constructor to TokenAndName so code can make copies of these objects to keep a reference if a vector gets resized. * A cleaner optimisation to removing template tokens This reverts the previous change to made mInstantiatedTemplates a vector and the iterator changes to support this, and makes mTypesUsedInTemplateInstantiation so the eraseTokens logic can be unified. * Reverted vector to list Also made mTypesUsedInTemplateInstantiation a vector of TokenAndName objects so it can share the same logic as the other members. * Added member for template simplifier pointer This can be used more efficiently than marking Tokens with a flag and then searching through all templates to find the one that matches. * Turned loop inside out This means we only have to iterate through the std::list once. std::list is very expensive to iterate through. * Latest code from danmar and fixed optimisations In particular I have optimised simplifying template instantiation names as this was incredibly slow because of the number of times it had to iterate through the template instantiation list. Previous optimisations to this weren't very effective and broke some edge cases. * Added changes from danmar Made mExplicitInstantiationsToDelete a vector of TokenAndName to be consistent with the rest of the members, which are cleaned up very efficiently. * Tokens can have many templateSimplifierPointers * templateSimplifierPointers must be kept in sync |

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++11 compiler should work. For compilers with partial C++11 support it may work. If your compiler has the C++11 features that are available in Visual Studio 2013 / GCC 4.6 then it will work.
To build the GUI, you need Qt.
When building the command line tool, PCRE is optional. It is used if you build with rules.
There are multiple compilation choices:
- qmake - cross platform build tool
- cmake - cross platform build tool
- Windows: Visual Studio (VS 2013 and above)
- Windows: Qt Creator + mingw
- gnu make
- g++ 4.6 (or later)
- clang++
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 file is configured for Visual Studio 2015, but the platform toolset can be changed easily to older or newer versions. The solution contains platform targets for both x86 and x64.
To compile with rules, select "Release-PCRE" or "Debug-PCRE" configuration. pcre.lib (pcre64.lib for x64 builds) and pcre.h are expected to be in /externals then.
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, unoptimized build (no dependencies):
make
The recommended release build is:
make SRCDIR=build CFGDIR=cfg HAVE_RULES=yes CXXFLAGS="-O2 -DNDEBUG -Wall -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-unused-function"
Flags:
-
SRCDIR=build
Python is used to optimise cppcheck -
CFGDIR=cfg
Specify folder where .cfg files are found -
HAVE_RULES=yes
Enable rules (PCRE is required if this is used) -
CXXFLAGS="-O2 -DNDEBUG -Wall -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-unused-function"
Enables most compiler optimizations, disables cppcheck-internal debugging code and enables basic compiler warnings.
g++ (for experts)
If you just want to build Cppcheck without dependencies then you can use this command:
g++ -o cppcheck -std=c++11 -Iexternals/simplecpp -Iexternals/tinyxml -Ilib cli/*.cpp lib/*.cpp externals/simplecpp/simplecpp.cpp externals/tinyxml/*.cpp
If you want to use --rule
and --rule-file
then dependencies are needed:
g++ -o cppcheck -std=c++11 -lpcre -DHAVE_RULES -Ilib -Iexternals/simplecpp -Iexternals/tinyxml cli/*.cpp lib/*.cpp externals/simplecpp/simplecpp.cpp externals/tinyxml/*.cpp
MinGW
mingw32-make LDFLAGS=-lshlwapi
Other Compiler/IDE
- Create a empty project file / makefile.
- Add all cpp files in the cppcheck cli and lib folders to the project file / makefile.
- Add all cpp files in the externals folders to the project file / makefile.
- Compile.
Cross compiling Win32 (CLI) version of Cppcheck in Linux
sudo apt-get install mingw32
make CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++ LDFLAGS="-lshlwapi" RDYNAMIC=""
