+ Cppcheck is a tool for static C/C++ code analysis, and it tries to
+ detect bugs that your compiler do not see. Checks for: memory leaks,
+ mismatching allocation-deallocation, buffer overrun, and many more.
+
+ Cppcheck is versatile. You can check non-standard code that includes
+ various compiler extensions, inline assembly code, etc. The goal is no
+ false positives."
