CodeLite IDE

Hi

I've been testing out a few IDEs lately and have settled on CodeLite..it has everything ..i just need to integrate LINT now..Has anybody done it before?

Forgive my ignorance, but what does LINT does?
How do you invoke it?

If you could tell some details here, I will be able to help you out.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC-Lint
PC Lint is commercial software that we use at work to check source code for discrepancies, basically a static code analyzer. Its been setup a long time ago and I've been through the manual but I cant make head or tail of it at the moment. Ive managed to setup the tool to lint a single file, but that means every function defined outside that c file throws an error. Is there an open source alternative?

Thanks for you time

You could try and run 'CppCheck'.
codelite has a plugin for it, and it should work out of the box.

Right click on your workspace / project and select -> 'CppCheck -> Run CppCheck'

This will perform a static code analyze of your workspace/project

Also, using the 'External Tools' plugin, you may consider the macros:

$(ProjectFiles) and $(ProjectFilesAbs) - the first one expands to a relative path and the later to absolute path

Those 2 macro will expand to a full space delimited list of the project files (the active project)

Thanks ..CppCheck is helpful..
