cscppc [--help | --print-path-to-wrap]

cscppc is a compiler wrapper that runs cppcheck in background. Create a symbolic link to cscppc named as your compiler (gcc, g++, ...) and put it to your $PATH.

The following parameters are given to Cppcheck by default:

• -D__GNUC__
• -D__STDC__
• -D__i386__       [32bit architecture only]
• -D__WORDSIZE=32  [32bit architecture only]
• -D__x86_64__     [64bit architecture only]
• -D__WORDSIZE=64  [64bit architecture only]
• -D__CPPCHECK__
• --inline-suppr
• --quiet
• --template="{file}:{line}: {severity}: {id}(CWE-{cwe}): {message}"
• --suppressions-list=/usr/share/cscppc/default.supp

The following parameters are passed to Cppcheck from compiler’s command line:

• -D...
• -I...

The following file extensions are recognized as C/C++ source files:

• c
• C
• cc
• cpp
• cxx

If cscppc is installed on system, the following command activates the wrapper:

export PATH="$(cscppc --print-path-to-wrap):$PATH"

--help

Prints basic usage information.

--print-path-to-wrap

Prints path to the directory with symlinks to the cscppc executable.

cscppc propagates the exit status returned by the compiler (in case cscppc succeeds to run the compiler). The exit status returned by Cppcheck does not affect the resulting exit status.

DEBUG_CSCPPC

If set to a non-empty string, cscppc outputs the list of parameters given to Cppcheck to the standard output.

CSCPPC_ADD_OPTS

cscppc expects a colon-separated list of Cppcheck options that should be appended to command line prior to invoking Cppcheck. The options are appended even if they already appear in the command line and they are always appended at the end of the command line.
