Cppcheck - A tool for static C/C++ code analysis

Syntax:
    cppcheck [OPTIONS] [files or paths]

If a directory is given instead of a filename, *.cpp, *.cxx, *.cc, *.c++, *.c,
*.tpp, and *.txx files are checked recursively from the given directory.

Options:
    --append=<file>      This allows you to provide information about
                         functions by providing an implementation for them.
    --check-config       Check cppcheck configuration. The normal code
                         analysis is disabled by this flag.
    -D<ID>               By default Cppcheck checks all configurations.
                         Use -D to limit the checking. When -D is used the
                         checking is limited to the given configuration.
                         Example: -DDEBUG=1 -D__cplusplus
    --enable=<id>        Enable additional checks. The available ids are:
                          * all
                                  Enable all checks
                          * style
                                  Enable all coding style checks. All messages
                                  with the severities 'style', 'performance'
                                  and 'portability' are enabled.
                          * performance
                                  Enable performance messages
                          * portability
                                  Enable portability messages
                          * information
                                  Enable information messages
                          * unusedFunction
                                  Check for unused functions
                          * missingInclude
                                  Warn if there are missing includes.
                                  For detailed information use --check-config
                         Several ids can be given if you separate them with
                         commas.
    --error-exitcode=<n> If errors are found, integer [n] is returned instead
                         of the default 0. 1 is returned
                         if arguments are not valid or if no input files are
                         provided. Note that your operating system can
                         modify this value, e.g. 256 can become 0.
    --errorlist          Print a list of all the error messages in XML format.
    --exitcode-suppressions=<file>
                         Used when certain messages should be displayed but
                         should not cause a non-zero exitcode.
    --file-list=<file>   Specify the files to check in a text file. Add one
                         filename per line. When file is -, the file list will
                         be read from standard input.
    -f, --force          Force checking of all configurations in files that have
                         "too many" configurations.
    -h, --help           Print this help.
    -I <dir>             Give include path. Give several -I parameters to give
                         several paths. First given path is checked first. If
                         paths are relative to source files, this is not needed.
    -i <dir or file>     Give a source file or source file directory to exclude
                         from the check. This applies only to source files so
                         header files included by source files are not matched.
                         Directory name is matched to all parts of the path.
    --inline-suppr       Enable inline suppressions. Use them by placing one or
                         more comments, like: // cppcheck-suppress warningId
                         on the lines before the warning to suppress.
    -j <jobs>            Start [jobs] threads to do the checking simultaneously.
    --platform=<type>    Specifies platform specific types and sizes. The
                         available platforms are:
                          * unix32
                                 32 bit unix variant
                          * unix64
                                 64 bit unix variant
                          * win32A
                                 32 bit Windows ASCII character encoding
                          * win32W
                                 32 bit Windows UNICODE character encoding
                          * win64
                                 64 bit Windows
    -q, --quiet          Only print error messages.
    --report-progress    Report progress messages while checking a file.
    --rule=<rule>        Match regular expression.
    --rule-file=<file>   Use given rule file. For more information, see: 
                         https://sourceforge.net/projects/cppcheck/files/Articles/
    -s, --style          Deprecated, use --enable=style
    --std=posix          Code is posix
    --std=c99            Code is C99 standard
    --suppress=<spec>    Suppress warnings that match <spec>. The format of
                         <spec> is:
                         [error id]:[filename]:[line]
                         The [filename] and [line] are optional. If [error id]
                         is a wildcard '*', all error ids match.
    --suppressions-list=<file>
                         Suppress warnings listed in the file. Each suppression
                         is in the same format as <spec> above.
    --template '<text>'  Format the error messages. E.g.
                         '{file}:{line},{severity},{id},{message}' or
                         '{file}({line}):({severity}) {message}'
                         Pre-defined templates: gcc, vs
    -v, --verbose        Output more detailed error information.
    --version            Print out version number.
    --xml                Write results in xml format to error stream (stderr).
    --xml-version=<version>
                         Select the XML file version. Currently versions 1 and 2
                         are available. The default version is 1.
Example usage:
  # Recursively check the current folder. Print the progress on the screen and
    write errors to a file:
    cppcheck . 2> err.txt
  # Recursively check ../myproject/ and don't print progress:
    cppcheck --quiet ../myproject/
  # Check only files one.cpp and two.cpp and give all information there is:
    cppcheck -v -s one.cpp two.cpp
  # Check f.cpp and search include files from inc1/ and inc2/:
    cppcheck -I inc1/ -I inc2/ f.cpp
