Here you can add an application that can open error files. Specify a name for the application, the application executable and command line parameters for the application.
The following texts in parameters are replaced with appropriate values when application is executed:
(file) - Filename containing the error
(line) - Line number containing the error
(message) - Error message
(severity) - Error severity
Example opening a file with Kate and make Kate scroll to the correct line:
Executable: kate
Parameters: -l(line) (file)

<p>Is bool value allowed? For instance result from comparison or from '!' operator.</p>
<p>Typically, set this if the argument is a pointer, size, etc.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre> memcmp(x, y, i == 123); // last argument should not have a bool value</pre>
</body></html>
Not bool
<html><head/><body>
<p>Is a null parameter value allowed?</p>
<p>Typically this should be used on any pointer parameter that does not allow null.</p>

There was a problem with loading the editor application settings.
This is probably because the settings were changed between the Cppcheck versions. Please check (and fix) the editor application settings, otherwise the editor program might not start correctly.
You must close the project file before selecting new files or directories!

Error
Failed to load %1. Your Cppcheck installation is broken. You can use --data-dir=<directory> at the command line to specify where this file is located. Please note that --data-dir is supposed to be used by installation scripts and therefore the GUI does not start when it is used, all that happens is that the setting is configured.

Analysis
This is a workfolder that Cppcheck will use for various purposes.
Clang (experimental)
If you want to design your classes to be as flexible and robust as possible then the public interface must be very robust. Cppcheck will asumme that arguments can take *any* value.
Check code in unused templates (should be ON normally, however in theory you can safely ignore warnings in unused templates)
Check code in unused templates (slower and less accurate analysis)
Max CTU depth
Max recursion in template instantiation
Warning options
Root path:
Filepaths in warnings will be relative to this path
Warning tags (separated by semicolon)

Cert C
CERT-INT35-C: int precision (if size equals precision, you can leave empty)

Limit analysis
Check code in headers (should be ON normally. if you want a limited quick analysis then turn this OFF)
If tags are added, you will be able to right click on warnings and set one of these tags. You can manually categorize warnings.
