Requirements

cppcheck

• Install from source

# http://cppcheck.net/
yum install -y gcc gcc-c++ cmake
sudo tar -zxvf cppcheck-x.y.tar.gz
cd cppcheck-x.y/
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc)

builtin binaries

• cppcheck 2.15 Windows 64-bit (No XP support) Linux x86 GLIBC 2.5

• cpplint 1.6.1 (linux cpplint need python)

Extension Settings

• If ${workspaceFolder} is included, it will be replaced.

Cppcheck

• Cppcheck:--executable

if (cppcheck configure is null) {
    use builtin binaries
} else {
    if( ("path to executable" --version).trim().toLowerCase().startsWith("cppcheck") ){
        use "path to executable"
    } else {
        use builtin binaries 
    }
}

• Cppcheck:--addon=

[
    "cert", 
    {
        "script": "misra.py", 
        "args": [
            "--rule-texts=/home/user/misra.txt"
        ]
    }, 
    "y2038.py", 
    "C:\\UsersAdministrator\\hreadsafety.json"
]

"addon" and "addon.py" will use addons folder under the same level folder as cppcheck .

[rorot@cpppcheck]$ tree | grep -E " cppcheck.exe| addons| misra.py| y2038.py| cert.py| threadsafety.py"
├── addons
│   ├── cert.py
│   ├── misra.py
│   ├── threadsafety.py
│   └── y2038.py
├── cppcheck.exe

Some addons need extra arguments. You can configure json or json file.

{
    "script": "misra.py",
    "args": [
        "--rule-texts=/home/user/misra.txt"
    ]
}
"--rule-texts=/home/user/misra.txt" (need absolute path, and use "/" or "\\" to split paths)
"args": ["--rule-texts=${workspaceFolder}/rule/misra.txt"] -> "args":["--rule-texts=D:/code/demo/rule/misra.txt"]}

Cpplint

• Cpplint:--executable

if (cpplint configure is null) {
    use builtin binaries
} else {
    if("path to executable"){
        use "path to executable"
    } else {
        use builtin binaries 
    }
}
