Cppcheck Portable

Cppcheck Portable is a software tool which was developed in order to provide static analysis of C or C++ code. It is designed to detect the types of bugs that compilers cannot normally find, and it features a minimalistic and intuitive UI.

This tool is the portable counterpart of Cppcheck, which means the Windows registry and Start menu/screen are not going to suffer any changes. After its removal, there will be no leftover files.

Another aspect worth mentioning is that by moving the program files to a portable storage unit (e.g. USB flash drive), it is possible to use Cppcheck Portable on any computer you can connect to. No need to worry about the installation process, as it is not a prerequisite.

The interface is intuitive and encloses a menu bar, several shortcut buttons and two panels to display uploaded documents and messages. Nevertheless, not all user categories will be able to handle it, due to the lingo present all throughout the utility.

It enables you to check the code for each class, invalid usage of STL, exception safety, and if it is out of bounds, as well as warn if obsolete functions are present.

It is possible to view the total number of errors, warnings, information messages, performance issues and other statistics, in a new window and copy them to the Clipboard for further analysis.

Comprehensive and well-organized Help contents are provided, while our tests have revealed that the computer’s performance will not be hindered.

To sum up, Cppcheck Porable is an efficient piece of software, with a good response time, user-friendly environment and enough options to help you check all aspect of your C or C++ code.
