About:
Veraxx is a programmable static analysis tool designed specifically for C++ source code. It enables developers to write custom verification rules using a Lua-based scripting interface to enforce coding standards and detect potential bugs. The tool provides a flexible framework for automating code quality checks and maintaining consistency across large C++ codebases.

Key Features:

Lua-based scripting for custom rule creation
Built-in rules for common C++ coding standards
AST-based analysis for accurate code inspection
Extensible plugin architecture
Integration with CI/CD pipelines

Use Cases:

Enforcing coding standards and style guidelines in C++ projects
Automated detection of code smells and potential bugs
Custom static analysis for domain-specific requirements
Code review automation and quality gate enforcement

Alternatives:

clang-tidy – Part of LLVM toolchain with built-in checks, less scripting flexibility
cppcheck – Open-source static analyzer focused on bug detection, no custom rule scripting
coverity – Commercial enterprise tool with advanced analysis, requires paid license
