I would recommend clang-tidy. You can have it running if you use the clangd Language Server.

+1 for clang-tidy because clang is good. There is also scan-build in clang but it's a PITA to use.

And for OP, you can also install sonarlint on some editors/IDE but I don't know if the scanned code is sent remotely or not.

Here's also a good resource for linters and formatters, sorted by languages:

I will go with this, thank you!

I wish people just used clang-tidy instead of pushing all the crap that's out there, like for instance PC-Lint Plus. At work the head of IT makes our work a living hell by insisting the CI runs a shit beta version of PC-Lint Plus which lacks full C++17 support and we have to reinvent stuff like variants and deprive ourselves of many C++ features because of one single linting tool.
