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. http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0149/

My points are: - 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.
