    One day after the release of Cppcheck 2.1, which already fixes a lot of bugs and performance issues of version 2.0, I would like to announce the availability of LCppC 1.0, a fork of Cppcheck. It shares all core checks with Cppcheck 2.1, while a bunch of corner-case features were removed to reduce maintenance effort. It currently also lacks a (working) GUI, although this might change in the future.

    Compared to Cppcheck 2.1, its main features are a re-designed command line interface that provides more flexible and consistent configuration options, improved multithreading support, improved whole program analysis and a better performance.

    A download button and more detailled release notes can be found here: https://github.com/PKEuS/LCppC/releases/tag/1.0

    Feel free to try it out, I would be glad to receive your feedback (and bug reports)!

    Today I found the time to prepare the second release: LCppC 1.1 is available now, based on current git head of Cppcheck with a lot of additional improvements.

    Development since the first release focused on bringing back useful checks that got lost in recent years of Cppcheck development and improving existing checks to fix false negatives - besides fixing bugs from the first release. Additionally, a first preview of a new GUI (currently, it only supports checking small code snippets from the "scratchpad") is included in the release.

    Source code, a binary package for Windows and detailed release notes can be found here: https://github.com/PKEuS/LCppC/releases/tag/1.1
