FindBugs is a great tool for static analysis in the Java environment. Having something similar in C++ would be tremendous.

Thanks for this extremely useful tip. I wasn't aware of that tool so far,

Best regards,

Yeah, I've gotten a lot of great help from FindBugs in my own Java project (Ganymede).

Kind of frightening how many bad and incorrect practices FindBugs can catch, actually.

It'll sober you right up. ;-)
