|
||
(except those that has #error in them). This is the recommended
|
||
behaviour.</p><p>But if you want to manually limit the checking you can do so with
|
||
<code class="literal">-D</code>.</p><p>Beware that only the macros, which are given here and the macros
|
||
defined in source files and known header files are considered. That
|
||
excludes all the macros defined in some system header files, which are by
|
||
default not examined by cppcheck.</p><p>The usage: if you, for example, want to limit the checking so the
|
||
only configuration to check should be "DEBUG=1;__cplusplus" then something
|
||
like this can be used:</p><pre class="programlisting">cppcheck -DDEBUG=1 -D__cplusplus path</pre><p>An alternative for -D is to use #error.</p><pre class="programlisting">#if LIB_VERSION <= 3
|
||
#error "lib version must be greater than 3"
|
||
#endif</pre><p>Using #error instead of -D have some advantages:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>the compiler will not be able to compile the code when invalid
|
||
defines are given. So #error makes your source code
|
||
safer/better.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Cppcheck will check all valid configurations instead of a single
|
||
configuration.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>This information is added to the source code which means you
|
||
don't need to provide this information to Cppcheck (makes it simpler
|
||
to use Cppcheck)</p></li></ul></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch02s08.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"> </td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ch04.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Multithreaded checking </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Chapter 4.
