Version 1.66-1 of cppcheck has been updated. This is the first build of
cppcheck to include cppcheck-gui, a Qt GUI for invoking cppcheck and
viewing the results.


RELEASE NOTES
=============

http://sourceforge.net/p/cppcheck/news/2014/08/cppcheck-166/


CHANGE LOG
==========

Changes from 1.65 to 1.66:

New checks:
- Compare pointer with '\0'
- Assigning boolean expression to floating point variables

Improvements:
- Much improved AST
- Much improved ValueFlow analysis
- ValueFlow and AST now used by much more checks, improving checking
   accuracy and performance
- Checking for self assignment now supports more complex expressions
- Returning references to literals or references to calculation results
   is detected
- Enhanced support for commutative operators in duplicate expression
   checking
- Improved template/enum parsing
- Definition of POD types in .cfg files
- Definition of minsize for buffer arguments in .cfg files for buffer
   overflow checking
- Fixed handling of #error: Do not report them if -f and -D are used
   together
- New .cfg file for AVR platform
- Generate xml dump of AST/ValueFlow/SymbolDatabase/TokenList if --dump
   is given
- Improved performance in several cases

GUI:
- Platform settings are being saved now
- Improved handling of (invalid) .cfg files

Additionally, a large number of false positives and crashes have been fixed.


DESCRIPTION
===========

Cppcheck is a static analysis tool for C/C++ code. Unlike C/C++
compilers and many other analysis tools it does not detect syntax
errors in the code. Cppcheck primarily detects the types of bugs that
the compilers normally do not detect. The goal is to detect only real
errors in the code (i.e. have zero false positives).

Dave.
