# Cppcheck Reviews **Vendor:** sourceforge **Category:** [Static Code Analysis Tools](https://www.g2.com/categories/static-code-analysis) **Average Rating:** 4.6/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 4 ## About Cppcheck Cppcheck is a static analysis tool for C/C++ code. Unlike C/C++ compilers and many other analysis tools it does not detect syntax errors in the code. Cppcheck primarily detects the types of bugs that the compilers normally do not detect. The goal is to detect only real errors in the code (i.e. have zero false positives). ## Cppcheck Reviews ### 1. Using CPPCHECK **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Aviation & Aerospace | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2020 **What do you like best about Cppcheck?** I like how ir catches possible errors at compile time. **What do you dislike about Cppcheck?** the first time it takes a few minutes to read and pick your options. But this occurs with any tool. **Recommendations to others considering Cppcheck:** Use it to catch dumb errors that may be hard to find during testing **What problems is Cppcheck solving and how is that benefiting you?** No problems encountered. Benefits are finding possible errors in my code before I start testing ### 2. Fast but limited features **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 24, 2020 **What do you like best about Cppcheck?** It is fast so analysis finishes quickly. Updated regularly and comes with new checks every time. Support variety to report formats. **What do you dislike about Cppcheck?** Limited ability to find bugs, you need to compliment with clang or other tools. We see quite some false positives compared to other tools. No support for style checks. **Recommendations to others considering Cppcheck:** It's a good tool to blend with other static analysis tools like Clang and Coverity. **What problems is Cppcheck solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's fast and helps check many bugs. The developer can run it along with compilation on their machines. ### 3. one of the Best code verifier **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Techy C. | Software Developer, Computer & Network Security, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2018 **What do you like best about Cppcheck?** the best part like that it was easily guiding me to remove the scope of variable. good examples to solve the errors.
