CppCheck - How To Set up Visual Studio Code (VS Code) on Windows to use CppCheck static analysis

In this video I will show you how to set up Visual Studio Code (VS code) on windows to use cppcheck code static analysis tool.

Cppcheck is a static analysis tool for C/C++ code. It provides unique code analysis to detect bugs and focuses on detecting undefined behavior and dangerous coding constructs. The goal is to have very few false positives. Cppcheck is designed to be able to analyze your C/C++ code even if it has non-standard syntax (common in embedded projects).

Visual Studio Code is a code editor redefined and optimized for building and debugging all kind of applications
