cppcheck: Check a Microsoft Visual Studio project (`*.vcxproj`) or solution (`*.sln`).
$ cppcheck --project=${path-to-project-sln}
try on your machine

The command "cppcheck --project=${path-to-project-sln}" is used to run the Cppcheck tool with a specified project file (.sln) as input.

  • "cppcheck" is the command to run the Cppcheck tool, which is a static analysis tool for C and C++ code.
  • "--project" is an option that specifies the project file to be analyzed.
  • "${path-to-project-sln}" is a placeholder for the actual file path of the project file. You need to replace it with the correct path to your project's .sln file.

By providing the project file to Cppcheck, it can analyze all the source code files included in the project and generate reports with various potential issues or errors in the code, such as memory leaks, null pointer dereferences, or non-compliant coding style. The output of the analysis will be displayed in the command line or saved to a file, depending on the configuration.
