# cppcheck
> A static analysis tool for C/C++ code.
> Instead of syntax errors, it focuses on the types of bugs that compilers normally do not detect.
> More information: <https://manned.org/cppcheck>.
- Recursively check the current directory, showing progress on the screen and logging error messages to a file:
`cppcheck . 2> cppcheck.log`
- Recursively check a given directory, and don't print progress messages:
`cppcheck {{[-q|--quiet]}} {{path/to/directory}}`
- Check a given file, specifying which tests to perform (by default only errors are shown):
`cppcheck --enable {{error|warning|style|performance|portability|information|all}} {{path/to/file.cpp}}`
- List available tests:
`cppcheck --errorlist`
- Check a given file, ignoring specific tests:
`cppcheck --suppress {{test_id1}} --suppress {{test_id2}} {{path/to/file.cpp}}`
- Check the current directory, providing paths for include files located outside it (e.g. external libraries):
`cppcheck -I {{include/directory_1}} -I {{include/directory_2}} .`
- Check a Microsoft Visual Studio project (`*.vcxproj`) or solution (`*.sln`):
`cppcheck --project {{path/to/project.sln}}`
