Static Analysis for C/C+ with cppcheck (+Makefile) | Embedded System Project Series #9

As a programmer, I make mistakes, the compiler catches some, but far from all, and to catch more I use a static analyser. In this video, I demonstrate cppcheck, which is a static analyser for C/C++. I show how to enable and suppress errors, and create a Makefile-rule that lets me run "make cppcheck" from the command-line to check my entire project.

Example 1:
cppcheck --quiet --enable=all --error-exitcode=1 main.c file1.c src/ -I include/

Example 2 (suppress specific error):
cppcheck --quiet --enable=all --error-exitcode=1 --suppress=unusedFunction:main.c:1

0:00 cppcheck
0:36 Install and Run
1:06 Enable more errors
1:50 Suppress errors
2:43 Multiple files
3:03 Makefile
4:24 Git commit and last words
