cpplint

This project continues the work of cpplint, a C++ style checker following Google’s C++ style guide. It provides cpplint as a PyPI package and adds a few features and fixes. It is maintained as a fork of google/styleguide in hopes that it can be merged in the future.

To install cpplint from PyPI, run:

$ pip install cpplint

Then run it with:

$ cpplint [OPTIONS] files

For full usage instructions, run:

$ cpplint --help
