The Code Climate Cppcheck engine wraps Cppcheck, a tool for static C/C++ code analysis. It provides unique code analysis to detect bugs and focuses on detecting undefined behavior and dangerous coding constructs. The goal is to detect only real errors in the code (i.e. have very few false positives).
