Where is CPPcheck output going to?

Post by metamorphosis »

Hi there-
in previous versions, I remember cppcheck showing it's results in a tab within the bottom area of codelite.
Running it in 9.1.0 (official release, Win7 x64) gives a readout of which files it's checking, but no cppcheck output. Does that mean there's no cppcheck errors, or is it putting the output somewhere else?
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Can confirm CPPCHECK not working.
Tried the cppcheck external gui on the files and it showed up a few warnings, which did not display in Codelite.

Looks like a configuration issue
Indeed, the default settings only shows "Checking file..." without any errors (note: CodeLIte displays the output as provided by CppCheck)
If you clear the options as seen in the below screenshot, it works (from the menu: Plugins->CppCheck->Settings)

Definitely not showing anything in codelite display, despite clearing those options.
Perhaps cppcheck module is not same version as sourceforge (v1.72)?

CodeLite comes with its own cpp_check
And it works for me... which OS? details will be helpful

Win7, x64.
Didn't have a problem with prev versions.
I did notice that originally cppcheck wasn't an active plugin, and I had to activate it.
Other than that not sure what's going on.
I'd uninstall entirely including settings and reinstall from scratch to see if it changes anything, but I'm loathe to redo all my settings -
is there a way to back up all the settings to an external location?
Thanks,
Matt

Can you post a screenshot of your output pane in CodeLite?
Do you have the 'CppCheck' tab there?

Sorry for the long delay.

Same platform.

First, enable the captions:

Settings->Preferences->Windows and Tabs->Hide docking windows captions

Next, click on the 3 dots button on the right side of the "Output Pane" and select the "CPP check" tab

Yup, that did it-
I think that option should be unticked by default, if it's not already (hide docking).
Thanks!
