Does anybody know a good Static analysis tool for C++ on Eclipse. Thanks in advance.

Something like PC Lint[^] perhaps?

Is this under Windows or Linux? For linting, PC-Lint will work well for the former; FlexeLint for the latter. There are a bunch of other commercial offerings (e.g. QA C++ and Cleanscape) but some of them actually use PC-Lint as their core analysis engine anyway. As far as I know, there are no open source C++ lint tools out there though. The nearest contender (Splint) is C only. IDE integration varies by tool, so you'll have to hunt around. My company (Riverblade) specialises in this area (we integrate PC-Lint into Visual Studio) but unfortunately we've not got the resources to support Eclipse at the moment (it doesn't help that the Eclipse plug-in model is Java based and our source is C++, but that's another story :doh:). For other forms of analysis (e.g. Cyclomatic Complexity) it's hard to beat SourceMonitor[^]- and as a bonus it's free. :)

Its on windows. I am looking for a tool on which I can add a few rules myself.

How good are they? Any idea how much they cost?

I really would like to find one on Eclipse... or Source Insight etc. Any idea how TPTP 4.4 is? I have heard that you can use for C, C++ also (It was originally designed for Java).

I am looking for customizable one. I.e. I wanna add my own set of rules into it.

I had been through the list. The problem is that there are too many tools listed and I dont have the liberty of time. :sigh:
