About:
OCLint is a static code analysis tool that automatically detects potential bugs, dead code, and code complexity issues in C, C++, Objective-C, and Swift programs. It helps developers enforce coding standards and improve overall software quality by providing actionable insights. The tool is highly configurable and integrates seamlessly into existing build workflows.

Key Features:

Supports C, C++, Objective-C, and Swift languages
Extensive rule set for code quality and style checks
Highly configurable via rule configuration files
Seamless integration with build systems like CMake and Make
Produces machine-readable reports (JSON, XML, HTML)

Use Cases:

Enforcing coding standards and best practices in large codebases
Identifying complex and hard-to-maintain code segments
Integrating static analysis into CI/CD pipelines

Alternatives:

Clang-Tidy – Part of the LLVM project, offers modernize and refactor capabilities alongside linting.
Cppcheck – Focuses on detecting bugs and undefined behavior in C/C++ code.
