What this developer tool does

Inspect C++ code for maintainability, memory-management patterns, object-oriented risks, and modernization opportunities. It reports estimated complexity, raw and smart pointer use, allocation APIs, inheritance signals, code smells, and a Modern C++ score.

Input → protected lexical scan → tool-specific parsing or transformation → metrics → status and recommendations

Results are browser-side heuristics. They do not replace Roslyn, Clang, a compiler, unit tests, or project-specific static analysis.

Example

Input: Paste the included sample and run the tool.
Output: The page produces a real C++ Inspector result, statistics, status, and practical interpretation.

Tips for better output

  • Use complete, consistently encoded source whenever possible.
  • Run compiler and project tests after automated formatting or conversion.
  • Macro-heavy, generated, or incomplete code may produce partial structural analysis.
  • Keep auto-run disabled when editing extremely large source files.

FAQ

How do I inspect C++ code quality online?

Paste source into the input area, select the available options, and run C++ Inspector. The result is processed locally in your browser.

How do I find code smells in C++?

The tool reports browser-detectable structure and style signals with line-oriented output where applicable.

How is complexity estimated by this C++ Inspector?

The analysis is heuristic and intentionally avoids claiming compiler-level certainty.

Can this tool replace a compiler or static analyzer?

Large or macro-heavy files may produce partial results; use a compiler or language-specific analyzer for final verification.

How do I improve the inspection result?

Run the formatter or validator first, then review the generated recommendations and copy or download the output.
