+
+## Overview
+
+C/C++ static analyzer using the [Cppcheck](https://cppcheck.sourceforge.io/) binary. Uses the CLI execution strategy — spawns `cppcheck` via `spawnTool()` and parses its XML output.
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| Tool ID | `cppcheck` |
+| Codacy UUID | `02eb6a1c-757f-4324-81bf-094835a1578b` |
+| Strategy | CLI |
+| Languages | C, C++ |
+| Binary | `cppcheck` |
+| File patterns | `**/*.c`, `**/*.cpp`, `**/*.cc`, `**/*.cxx`, `**/*.h`, `**/*.hpp`, `**/*.hh` |
+| Pattern count | ~420 |
+| Extra dependency | `fast-xml-parser` (for XML output parsing) |
+
+## Updating patterns
+
+```bash
+# Re-fetch pattern metadata from the Codacy API
+pnpm prefetch
+
+# Commit the result
+git add src/patterns.json
+```
+
+Pattern IDs follow the format `cppcheck_nullPointer`, `cppcheck_unusedVariable`, etc.
+
+## Updating the Cppcheck version
+
+1. Update `preferredVersion` in `src/adapter.ts`
+2. Run `pnpm prefetch` to check for new/removed rules
+3. Run `pnpm test` to verify compatibility
+4. If the major version changes, create a new adapter package (`cppcheck-3/`)
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+pnpm build    # Build with tsup
+pnpm test     # Run tests (requires cppcheck in PATH)
+```
+
+**Cppcheck must be installed manually** — the adapter's `install()` returns `NotSupported`. Install via your system package manager:
+
+```bash
+# macOS
+brew install cppcheck
+
+# Ubuntu/Debian
+apt-get install cppcheck
+
+# Fedora
+dnf install cppcheck
+```
+
+## Notes for maintainers
+
+- Cppcheck outputs **XML to stderr** (not stdout). The adapter captures stderr and parses it with `fast-xml-parser`.
+- The `--xml` flag enables XML output; `--enable=all` activates all checkers.
+- `--error-exitcode=0` prevents non-zero exit codes on findings.
+- `--inline-suppr` respects inline suppression comments.
+- `--force` checks all configurations even if `#ifdef` branches are present.
+- `unusedFunction` is suppressed via `--suppress=unusedFunction` (too noisy for single-file analysis).
+- Automated installation is not supported — Cppcheck doesn't provide pre-built binaries for all platforms on GitHub releases.
