Cppcheck

Cppcheck is an open source analysis software for C and C++ code.

Unlike other C/C++ compilers, Cppcheck does not detect syntax errors. Instead, it only detects the types of bugs that the compilers normally fail to detect.

The developers recommend that you enable as many warnings as possible in your compiler.

What is new in this release:

• This version fixes a bug in compiled patterns.

• Simplification of well-known math.h functions.
• The check for a variable being assigned a value and never used also handles reassignments.
• Fixes for several false negatives in the buffer overrun check.
• Detection of more inadequate comparisons of Boolean variables.
