Check 'C' and 'C++' Files using 'Cppcheck'
Description
Allow to run 'Cppcheck' (<https://cppcheck.sourceforge.io/>) on 'C' and 'C++' files with a 'R' command or a 'RStudio' addin. The report appears in the 'RStudio' viewer pane as a formatted 'HTML' file. It is also possible to get this report with a 'shiny' application. 'Cppcheck' can spot many error types and it can also give some recommendations on the code.
