User Reviews

  • Great tool. Compared to other (paid) tools, the ease of use of Cppcheck is remarkable. It does find issues if you configure it correctly. Via Cmake I was able to custom targets to my solution that check the project in the way I want it to. It's very fast. The Misra2012 addon finds a lot of issues that Polyspace doesn't, but the same is true the other way around. I think the 2 tools complement each other nicely. The support in the discussion forum is greatly appreciated and makes the tool better. Regards
  • Great open source tool with good support!
  • Bug
  • Looks good so far - I was in error in my assessment as to building the tool. I was using 2010 and not 2019. 2019 worked fine. Also, I noticed an installer too. So my original comment was a knee-jerk. Apologies.
  • Found this yesterday. I think it's great! I applied it to a modest size project (~13K LOC) I'm working on, and it was relentless in finding "areas for improvement." Using this tool, in less than 24 hours I was able to clear 35 errors, 159 warnings, 286 style warnings, 4 portability warnings, and 0 performance warnings down to 0/1/6/0/0. I've convinced myself that these remaining items are false positives, but that is just noise as far as I'm concerned (484 down to 7). The power of that relentlessly thorough set of eyes looking at the code was amazing. And humbling. I give it my highest recommendation!
