Latest version of CppCheck

[iwbnwif]

Hello!

At the moment CL includes an older version of CppCheck (1.54) and the plugin seems to be hard coded to use its own version.

Is there a way of configuring CL to use the latest version (1.59) and the imminent 1.60?

Also I don't see any highlighting of the output from CppCheck as has been shown in some older screenshots. Has this feature been removed?

Many thanks!

Of course the obvious solution on Linux is to delete the /usr/bin/codelite_cppcheck executable and replace it with a symlink to the standard cppcheck executable

Hi,

Yes. It gets upgraded every year or 3 .

Also I don't see any highlighting of the output from CppCheck as has been shown in some older screenshots. Has this feature been removed?

Hmm. That seems to have been a casualty of last year's change from wxScintilla to wxSTC; the CppCheckReportPage::ColorLine lexer code (which depended on wxScintilla) was commented out...

Regards,

Hi, thanks for that.

Is there a reason why a 'custom' version of cppcheck is being used rather than just the one in /usr/bin?

I know that the checker does some clever things with include files so I guess it might be related to this...

I don't know; I can't remember if it's customised. Perhaps so that it's available even if the user doesn't have their own installation (which most people won't, I suspect).

Ah, I see thanks.
