Currently the information severity messages are outputted as error
messages with Severity::Information. This causes constant confusion
as people think it as mildest error severity (and rightfully so).
When it was meant to be for printing messages about the checking
procedure itself (like missing header files etc).
So I'm adding a new function for the ErrorLogger for printing these
informative messages. This makes clear the distinction of errors
found from the code and messages related to the checking itself.
It also makes it easier for clients to handle these separately.
- Enhanced performance by directly iterating through the token list instead of index access
- Added more allocation functions
- Simplified code
Replaced avoidable strlen call in cppcheckexecutor.cpp
The "ExtraVersion" can be used for things like Git commit Id,
release tag (version control), release date etc. If the string
is empty, nothing is printed.
Filename exclusion (with -i) works only for the source files.
Print a warning if user tries to exclude header file. The warning
instructs user to use --suppress for ignoring warnings from the
header files.
When user wants to see only errors printed (--quiet in CLI) we
must obey that. And not print unmatchedSuppressions list.
Ticket: #2895 (Cannot suppress unmatchedSuppression reports)
The ErrorLogger::reportStatus() is not lib code interface. The CLI
code does the looping through file list and gives one file at a
time for the core code. Hence lib has no any idea about the
progress and it can't provide such information.
Also the recent commit (6d858b6) caused a GUI build failure by
adding CLI code dependency to GUI. Which is big no-no.
This is admittedly a hack. But it allow us to build all modules
again.
Unify usage and API of CppCheck class. Allow only one file checked
at a time, instead of list of files. Clients can then handle file
lists more naturally and as they see fit. Also clients have better
knowledge of how checking status should be handled.
The single-threaded CLI checking was only one using the file list.
Other clients were giving files (to list) one file at a time.
When doing single-threaded checking give checked files to Cppcheck
class one file at a time. Like GUI and multithreaded checking
already do. This unifies how we call Cppcheck class from different
clients.
Non-existing include path is not a fatal problem requiring exiting
the program. Instead we just print a warning and remove the non-
existing include path from the list.
Add support for giving list of ignored paths from CLI. This way
user can define paths one doesn't want to check (like generated
code). This first simple implementation only does exact matching,
no support for wildcards etc. And matching is always agains dir
names.
If the filtered dir name is part of the checked filename then the
file is ignored.
Ticket #1690 (Ability to exclude files and directories from checks)
Ticket #2441 (Parsing of command line arguments breaks after --errorlist)
Instead of stopping processing command line options after
--errorlist process them all. This way e.g. --verbose can be given
also after the --errorlist.
Fix ticket #2496 (Is error reporting for an unneeded parameter wrong?)
There are several command line options / commands after which we
don't want Cppcheck to even try to open any files. Eg. printing
help or listing errors. So add new attribute for CmdLineParser to
track use of these options and exit before checking files when
the attribute is set.
