Kimmo Varis 68c52ddd69 Refactoring information messages.
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.

About the name

The original name of this program is "C++check" but it was later changed to "cppcheck".

Despite the name, Cppcheck is designed for both C and C++.

Manual

A manual is available online: http://cppcheck.sf.net/manual.pdf

Compiling

Any C++ compiler should work.

To build the GUI, you need Qt.

When building the command line tool, PCRE is normally used. PCRE is optional.

There are multiple compilation choices:

  • qmake - cross platform build tool
  • Windows: Visual Studio
  • Windows: Qt Creator + mingw
  • gnu make
  • g++

qmake

You can use the gui/gui.pro file to build the GUI.

cd gui
qmake
make

Visual Studio

Use the cppcheck.sln file. The rules are normally enabled.

To compile with rules (pcre dependency):

To compile without rules (no dependencies):

  • remove the preprocessor define HAVE_RULES from the project
  • remove the pcre.lib from the project

Qt Creator + mingw

The PCRE dll is needed to build the CLI. It can be downloaded here: http://software-download.name/pcre-library-windows/

gnu make

To build Cppcheck with rules (pcre dependency):

make HAVE_RULES=yes

To build Cppcheck without rules (no dependencies):

make

g++ (for experts)

If you just want to build Cppcheck without dependencies then you can use this command:

g++ -o cppcheck -Ilib cli/*.cpp lib/*.cpp

If you want to use --rule and --rule-file then dependencies are needed:

g++ -o cppcheck -lpcre -DHAVE_RULES -Ilib -Iexternals cli/*.cpp lib/*.cpp externals/tinyxml/*.cpp

mingw

make LDFLAGS=-lshlwapi

Cross compiling Win32 (CLI) version of Cppcheck in Linux

sudo apt-get install mingw32
make CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++ LDFLAGS="-lshlwapi"
mv cppcheck cppcheck.exe
