Unlike C/C++ compilers and many +other analysis tools, we don't detect syntax errors. Cppcheck only detects +the types of bugs that the compilers normally fail to detect. The goal is to +have no false positives. + +To supplement Cppcheck, it is recommended that you enable as many compiler +warnings as possible. For the GCC compiler, take a look at +http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html for a comprehensive +list of warning options that GCC supports. At a minimum, it is recommended +that you enable -Wall, -Wextra, and -pedantic + +If you do not want to install the manual pages, you can run the build script +like this: MAKEMAN=no ./cppcheck.SlackBuild |
