We use two, Cppcheck and clang-tidy.

Cppcheck is reasonably fast, so we run it on every build. It spots a 
good number of problems, it categories issues as Error, Warning, Style, 
Performance, Portability and Information.  You can filter based on 
category or specific warning.

clang-tidy is much slower (we run it as a separate job) because it digs 
much deeper into the code and can follow control flow paths.  It has an 
extensive list of warnings, many of which can be automatically repaired. 
  See <http://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/index.html#using-clang-tidy>

Both can be run in parallel, which speed things along if you have the 
hardware.

HTH,
