cpp-static-analysis

What problem does it solve?

Static analysis catches a large class of bugs in C/C++ code at zero runtime cost, helping you identify defects before they cause failures and regressions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• clang-tidy: incremental checks on changed files using a compile_commands.json project, plus a safe baseline configuration.
• cppcheck: fast, standalone checks for correctness, leaks, and off-by-one issues.
• IWYU: ensures include hygiene by identifying unused or missing includes.
• Prerequisites: a compile_commands.json at project root, tools installed, and a baseline .clang-tidy at root.
• Use Case: after editing a translation unit, run incremental analysis to surface warnings before committing.

Quick Start

Run incremental clang-tidy checks on changed files using the compile_commands.json project and review the resulting warnings.
