Please feel free to open a pull request if you know of a code analysis tool that is not mentioned here.
If you're in doubt if a tool is a good fit for the list, don't open an issue, but create a pull request right away because that's easier to handle. Thanks! 😃

Requirements

Each tool on the list should be

• actively maintained
• actively used (have more than ten Stars on Github or similar impact)
• relatively mature (project exists for at least one month)

Format

* [Project Name](https://github.com/author/project-name) - A short, but meaningful description. Maximum two lines long.

e.g.:

* [CMetrics](https://github.com/MetricsGrimoire/CMetrics) [OSS] - Measures size and complexity for C files

for proprietary tools, please add a "copyright emoji" (:copyright:):

* [Functor Prevent](http://www.functor.se/products/prevent/) :copyright: - Static code analysis for C code.

Ordering

Please make sure to keep the alphabetical, case-insensitive ordering of the tools.

Description length

Make each tool description as precise as possible.
Please limit the description to 200 characters.

Categories

If you can, please limit yourself to only one category.
This way, all tools get treated fairly and the list is easier to read.

Thanks for helping out! 🎉
