If the project file in MRU list does not exist ask user if one wants to remove the file from the list. If user agrees then the file is removed from the list. Otherwise the file is left to the list but not tried to open. User may have accidentally moved or renamed the file so we give a possibility to add it back and not just blindly removing it from the list.

About
The original name of this program is "C++check" but it was later changed to "cppcheck".
Manual
A manual is available online:

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):
* the pcre dll is needed. it can be downloaded from:
http://cppcheck.sf.net/pcre-8.10-vs.zip
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
To build Cppcheck without rules (no dependencies):
make HAVE_RULES=no
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
