cppcheck: Check the current directory, providing paths for include files located outside it (e.g. external libraries).
$ cppcheck -I ${include-directory_1} -I ${include-directory_2} .
try on your machine

The command cppcheck is a static analysis tool for C and C++ code. It helps to detect bugs, errors, and other potential issues in the code.

The -I option is used to specify additional include directories for the preprocessor when analyzing the code. In this command, there are two include directories specified: ${include-directory_1} and ${include-directory_2}. These are placeholders for actual directory paths that need to be provided.

The . (dot) at the end of the command represents the current directory. It indicates that cppcheck should analyze the code in the current directory and its subdirectories. By default, cppcheck analyzes all C and C++ files it finds in the specified directory.

Overall, this command runs the cppcheck tool, passing the -I option to specify additional include directories, and providing the current directory as the source location for analysis.
