This is a tool to help source code auditors find potential trouble spots in C and C++ code.

This tool is just a simple token-based pattern matching tool. Nonetheless, it looks for a wide variety of problem types, and as such is useful. Generally, RATS is a similar tool providing a superset of functionality (the databases aren't proprietary, and RATS handles several other programming languages).
