automated coding standard validation?

[Konrad Palczynski]

I am looking for tool to validate conformity to defined coding standard.
I have already found Parasoft's C++ Test, but it is quite expensive. Is
there any Open Source alternative? I do not need GUI, fancy reports nor
predefined sets of rules.

Why use a tool at all? Just adopt some agile practices such as
collective code ownership and pair programming. Way more effective than
a tool.
The usual hit-and-run tactics of agile/extreme programming
zealots. Great claims, no evidence.

I'm happy with the evidence provided by the continued success of my
teams and their products.

If you care only about whether _you're_ happy with
your conclusions, then kindly keep your opinions
to yourself. Other people are more discriminating.

I don't, I care that my clients and customers are happy.
