Known issues

gotchacppclean is NOT a Python importable library; it is a command-line tool. Attempting 'import cppclean' will fail. It must be invoked via subprocess or shell.

fix

Use subprocess.run(['cppclean', 'file.cpp']) or equivalent.

affects: all

gotchaThe tool does not support all C++ standards and may report false positives for modern C++ features (e.g., move semantics, smart pointers).

fix

Review warnings manually; consider using cppclean as a complement to other tools like clang-tidy.

affects: all

deprecatedThe project is in maintenance mode. No active development; may not keep pace with C++ evolution.

fix

Evaluate if it meets your needs; consider alternative tools like clang-tidy or cppcheck for active support.
