What tools exist for comparing C++ code to coding guidelines? [closed]

Question

There exist tools for comparing code against a custom specified set of coding guidelines/standards for a variety of languages (rather than pure static analysis for common defects). Examples include FxCop for .Net code and CheckStyle for Java, but I was wondering what examples people know of in the C++ world.

An existing question was asked regarding free tools which provided examples like Vera but I was also wondering about commercial tools that may be available.

Answer 1

A tool used by us was CodeWizard from Parasoft. But I think the new version is called "Parasoft C++ Test". From the homepage:

• Static analysis of code for compliance with user-selected coding standards
• Graphical RuleWizard editor for creating custom coding rules
• Static code path simulation for identifying potential runtime errors
• Automated code review with a graphical interface and progress tracking
• Automated generation and execution of unit and component-level tests
• Flexible stub framework
• Full support for regression testing
• Code coverage analysis with code highlighting
• Runtime memory error checking during unit test execution
• Full team deployment infrastructure for desktop and command line usage

Answer 2

The full list that I managed to generate:

• PRQA's QA C++
• Parasoft's C++Test
• MS Visual Studio Team System seems to have some functionality but it's hard to tell via their website.
• GrammaTech CodeSonar
• Coverity Extend

The last two provide some functionality but not particularly customisable ones:

• Klocwork Insight
• Rational PurifyPlus
