Description

Current Features

we do not currently have any static analyzer

Desired Additional Features

integrate cppcheck in two places:

  1. Prebuilt github action here May need to mess around with settings to decide what we want to be considered a fail

  2. In docker, should be an easy apt install and then can alias a command with our desired settings/suppressions

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's GitHub Actions configuration and Docker setup, then read the linked cppcheck GitHub Action documentation. Done means cppcheck is integrated in both places with agreed failure settings and suppressions, and the analyzer can be run through the Docker environment.
