Cppcheck is an analysis tool for C/C++ code. 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
