cpplint - static code checker for C++

customized

This fork extends the default Google C/C++ style guide with a few non-standard rules. These are intended to be used for students learning to code and enforce some more strict rules on them like:

1. Only one statement per line
2. Require indentation
3. Require curly braces for if/else/for/while/do statements
4. Create a newline after if/else/for/while/do curly-brace open
5. Require curly brace close to be on a separate line

---

Cpplint is a command-line tool to check C/C++ files for style issues following Google's C++ style guide. Cpplint is developed and maintained by Google Inc. at google/styleguide, also see see the wikipedia entry

While Google maintains cpplint, Google is not (very) responsive to issues and pull requests, this fork aims to be (somewhat) more open to add fixes to cpplint to enable fixes, when those fixes make cpplint usable in wider contexts.

Installation

To install cpplint from PyPI, run:

$ pip install cpplint

Then run it with:

$ cpplint [OPTIONS] files

For full usage instructions, run:

$ cpplint --help
