One thing article does not mention is the false positives. Filter helps only partially, i'm still left with hundreds of false positives. PVS-Studio considers false-positives as natural part of the progress. A total turn-off me.
Cppcheck does very well in that regard, i only have 2 false positives with cppcheck. Best part is they are considered bugs by cppcheck team.
Also wonder about the opposite, errors that have been caught by cppcheck but ignored by PVS-Studio. They do exist.

- Every c++ project should use cppcecheck since it has almost no noise.
- PVS-Studio if you have a dedicated analyst in your team and able to pony up $10k per year.
