If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yep, it's SPAM!

It is offering a free version to students, but it is otherwise a paid product.

It's not really an article about code analysis, but only about product - and (IMHO) not to good...
The author is working for the company developing the product.
It's not really a free for student, but more a trial for a year license...
(I didn't reported as it's hard to decide, but I do not like these things...)

He's a valuable member, I remember some of his articles and they are well done. If it is possibile it could be moved in Third Party Products, otherwise I'd delete the article but not the author.

What is strange that after two years of silence he came back with two articles of the same purpose - he also upgraded his profile with endless links to his own product-site (of which others were banned in past)...
Anyway - let the hamsters decide...

Agree. This article is an advertisement of CppCat application.

It's spam. Clear and simple - he's advertising a product. While there's a "free"ish version for students, the vast majority of people here are professional coders, so this looks like a cynical ploy. Deal with it the way you'd deal with other spam articles.

Yeah, go ahead - resurrect a question from four years ago to post a link to a commercial tool. It's not like we're going to notice. D'Oh! | :doh:

Replying to one of the spam messages from den2k88's post below with yet more spam. D'Oh! | :doh:

~~This also suggests another spam-hunting term: "fruit flies".~~
Never mind - 11 pages of results, and this is the only obvious hit. Perhaps this one should get a special "unique spam" award? Smile | :)

I'd go for therapy, but after having removed "treatment" otherwise there would be a lot of overlaps!

EDIT: "fruit flies" even with my other spam filtering options does not show any more. I usually make the search as

keywords NOT "RE:"

to avoid answers to legitimate posts, and rank them by Rating Lo-Hi since most of the spam is unrated (reporting as spam automatically gives a score of 1), so whe you start to see stars you know it's over.
