[RFC/PATCHv2] Makefile: add cppcheck target

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add cppcheck target to Makefile. Cppcheck is a static
analysis tool for C/C++ code. Cppcheck primarily detects
the types of bugs that the compilers normally do not detect.
It is an useful target for doing QA analysis.

To run the default set of checks run

   make cppcheck

Additional checks can be enabled by specifying CPPCHECK_ADD. This is a
comma separated list which is passed to cppcheck's --enable option. To
enable style and warning checks run

  make cppcheck CPPCHECK_ADD=style,warning

Changes in v2:
- only run over actual git source files.
- omit any files in t/
- print cppcheck version to allow for better comparison between
  different build environments
- introduce CPPCHECK_FLAGS which can be overridden in the make command
  line. This also uses a GNU make-ism to allow CPPCHECK_ADD to specify
  additional checks to be enabled.
