Checking non-standard file extensions with Cppcheck

Question

Is there a way to pass custom file extensions to Cppcheck ? For example, *.pc .

Answer 1

sure. cppcheck will check any file that you give it.

check the file xyz.pc:

cppcheck xyz.pc

check all files with extension pc in folder srcfolder (this at least works in linux):

cppcheck srcfolder/*.pc

the --file-list flag may also be useful. you could generate the list of files that you want to check using an arbitrary script. and then run cppcheck on that file list.

cppcheck --file-list=files.txt
