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).

Advanced user of CppcheckIt is fast so analysis finishes quickly.
Updated regularly and comes with new checks every time.
Support variety to report formats.
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.
It's a good tool to blend with other static analysis tools like Clang and Coverity.
It's fast and helps check many bugs. The developer can run it along with compilation on their machines.
