OCLint is a static code analysis tool for improving quality and reducing defects by inspecting C, C++ and Objective-C code.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Looks for potential issues that aren’t visible to compilers including:
- Possible bugs – empty if/else/try/catch/finally statements.
- Unused code – unused local variables and parameters.
- Complicated code – high cyclomatic complexity, NPath complexity and high NCSS.
- Redundant code – redundant if statement and useless parentheses.
- Code smells – long method and long parameter list.
- Bad practices – inverted logic and parameter reassignment.
