“Tools from the C++ eco-system to save a leg”
summary
Survey of concrete C++ tooling that reduces real errors and maintenance cost: recommends using clang-format for deterministic style (but warns its fuzzy parser misses headers), applies clang-tidy and Clang analyzer to automate ~200 checks and C++ Core Guideline fixes, runs dynamic tools like AddressSanitizer and Valgrind for memory and race bugs, cites CppCheck/Coverity and CLion data‑flow checks, notes Google Test dominates (≈45%), and compares package solutions like Conan and Hunter while warning language‑level package proposals remain incomplete.
