Cppdepend
CppDepend is a static analysis tool for C/C++ code. This tool supports a large number of code metrics, allows for visualization of dependencies using directed graphs and dependency matrix. The tools also performs code base snapshots comparison, and validation of architectural and quality rules. User-defined rules can be written using LINQ queries. This possibility is named CQLinq. The tool also comes with a large number of predefined CQLinq code rules.
Features
The main features of CppDepend are:- Support for Coding Standards: Misra C++, Misra C, Cert C, Cert C++, CWE, Autosar

Code Rule through LINQ Query (CQLinq)
The tool proposes live code query and code rule through LINQ query.This is one of the innovations of CppDepend. For example:
- Classes inherit from a particular class:
//
from t in Types
where t.IsClass && t.DeriveFrom
select t
- The 10 most complex methods
//
.Take
In addition, the tool proposes a live CQLinq query editor with code completion and embedded documentation.
