As awesome as that is, cppcheck doesn't seem ready for real-world use. Literally the first invocation I ran resulted in this error:

  error: Syntax Error: AST broken, binary operator '!=' doesn't have two operands. [internalAstError]
   explicit operator bool() const { return this->get() != pointer(); }
This is for a simple wrapper class that looks like this:

  template<class T>
  class Foo : private Bar<T> {
  public:
   typedef value_type *pointer;
   pointer get() const { return ...; }
   explicit operator bool() const { return this->get() != pointer(); }
  };
Another example:

  void foo(uintptr_t const (&input)[2]) {
   if constexpr (sizeof(uintptr_t) == sizeof(int) && sizeof(long long) == 2 * sizeof(int)) {
    long long value;
    memcpy(&reinterpret_cast<uintptr_t *>(&value)[0], &input[0], sizeof(input[0]));
    memcpy(&reinterpret_cast<uintptr_t *>(&value)[1], &input[1], sizeof(input[1]));
   }
  }

  error: The address of local variable 'value' is accessed at non-zero index. [objectIndex]
    memcpy(&reinterpret_cast<uintptr_t *>(&value)[1], &input[1], sizeof(input[1]));
                                                 ^
