Sparse is a semantic parser for C, see the official wiki for details.

Checker options

The setting g:syntastic_sparse_config_file allows you to define a file that contains additional compiler arguments like include directories or CFLAGS. If none is given the filename defaults to .syntastic_sparse_config. This file is expected to contain one sparse option per line.

Notes

If you're using sparse with gcc, you probably want to add something like this to your .vimrc:

let g:syntastic_c_sparse_post_args='-gcc-base-dir ' .
    \ system("gcc -v 2>&1 | sed -n '/^Reading specs/ { s#.* /#/#; s#/[^/]*$##; p; }'")

This allows sparse to read gcc's private include files.
