Cppcheck-1.75 has been released
General changes:
- Replaced internal preprocessor by the brand-new preprocessor 'simplecpp'
- Improved Windows installer: Install a copy of the license instead of asking to accept it
- The Windows x64 binaries are now compiled with profile guided optimization, resulting in a speedup of 11%
- Improved manual, especially the chapter about Libraries
- Improved CWE mapping
- --append is deprecated and will be removed in 1.80
New checks:
- Detect passed by value for non-const variables and print message only if type size justifies optimization
Checking improvements:
- Implemented support for trailing return types (C++11)
- Improved support for digit separators (C++14)
- Improved support for enum types in buffer overflow checking
- Better handling of volatile variables when checking for redundant assignments
- Properly support integer suffixes i64 and ui64
- Support function arguments with default value in Libraries
- Always set file0 attribute of error messages to identify the source file cppcheck was checking
Additionally, lots of false positives and bugs have been fixed and several existing checks have been improved.
"cppcheck --doc" still does not appear in your help file, while "cppcheck --errorlist" does. I always have to go to the web to remember the argument for the error checklist.
please suggest improvements in the issue tracker: http://trac.cppcheck.net
