The Cppcheck project was registered on Sourceforge on 2007-05-08, I originally thought that it would only be a small utility to catch some bugs in my code. I planned that the development would take ~2 weeks, because after that I expected that I ... [More] would loose interest and do something else. Therefore the original design was very Keep-It-Simple. I planned that I would loose interest, but that has not happened yet. Therefore I have continued working on Cppcheck and gradually added more and more features. When I registered the project, the original name was c++check. This name was soon changed to cppcheck. Now 10 years later it is still very active project. Release 1.79 is coming soon. I believe we have come a long way in these 10 years and the development will continue. [Less]

"cppcheck --doc" still does not appear in your help file, while "cppcheck --errorlist" does. I always have to go to the web to remember the argument for the error checklist.
