Sublimelinter cpplint does not recognize ipp files

Question

I am trying to setup sublime text 3 to work on C++ development.

I installed cpplint and followed the installation instructions. While the documentation indicates that cpplint will lint any file with syntax set to "C++", this is not the case for me. cpplint only works when my file has an extention "cpp" or "hpp". The moment I change the file name extension from "hpp" to "ipp" the linter stops working.

Does anybody know what configuration I need to make?

Answer 1

Turns out cpplint source code has a check to ignore extensions that aren't the usual ones in function

GetAllExtensions()

Simply adding "ipp" to the list and building cpplint solves the issue.
