Hi all,

Kris has been improving our code using hints from cppcheck. I have started to use this program too, and already found some bugs with it. It seems like a really great program, and I encourage you to have a look at our code with it.

Windows devs: yes this program has a nice Windows GUI !

Cheers, Johan

Hi Johan, for blender3d I've setup convenience make targets for static checkers (though they could be triggered by a shell script or whatever)

--- output from `make help`, snip

Static Source Code Checking (not assosiated with building blender)

• check_cppcheck - run blender source through cppcheck (C& C++)
• check_splint - run blenders source through splint (C only)
• check_sparse - run blenders source through sparse (C only)

---

Scripts if anyones interested: https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender/build_files/cmake/p... https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender/build_files/cmake/c... https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender/GNUmakefile

The reason I found it better to have targets rather then just running cppcheck directly is that I use cmake to get the defines and includes for each C/C++ file for more useful results.

Using some generic scripts to get this info for each C/C++ file its possible to add extra tools quite easily.

if anyones interested I could set this up for inkscape too - but probably using a python script since in-source-makefiles can't be used like we have in blender.

Priority for me is getting cmake building to work on Windows. But after that, I would be very happy if you can add this "make cppcheck" functionality. (right now, I cannot easily run cppcheck on only the files that have changed)

Cheers, Johan
