A Visual Studio Code extension to run Cppcheck
License: MIT License
This is an extension for Visual Studio Code to run Cppcheck on your project.
You must install Cppcheck and have it available in your PATH.
v0.1.0
Lizard checks for excessive code complexity. Add it to the TypeScript workflow and the VS Code tasks.
v0.1.0
When Cppcheck scans a file and reports errors in other files, all the diagnostics are tied to the original file instead of the files that actually have issues.
The diagnostics need to refer to the correct file. Then the problems panel and editor squiggles will be correct.
v0.1.0
Add a setting for the path to Cppcheck. Use this path when forming the Cppcheck command.
v0.1.0
If I open a Markdown file, VS Code Cppcheck will report a syntax error in the file.
VS Code Cppcheck should ignore files that are not C or C++.
v0.1.0
Add a setting for the user to control the --project command option. Default to the compile_commands.json file the extension can find it, or no project if the extension cannot find compile_commands.json.
Figure out why the unit tests stopped working when I cleaned up my branches, and fix them.
v0.1.0
Add a setting for the user to set --enable command options.
--enable option to the Cppcheck command.v0.1.0
The extension quietly does not add diagnostics. The problem is that it fails to parse the JSON output. Here is example bad output:
"[{\"file\":\"/home/brendan/repositories/tracking-analyzer/tracking-analyzer/tracking-analyzer-gui/application.h\",\"line\":4,\"column\":0,\"severity\":\"information\",\"message\":\"Include file: \"tracking-analyzer/dataset.h\" not found.\",\"id\":\"missingInclude\"},\n{\"file\":\"/home/brendan/repositories/tracking-analyzer/tracking-analyzer/tracking-analyzer-gui/application.h\",\"line\":5,\"column\":0,\"severity\":\"information\",\"message\":\"Include file: \"tracking-analyzer/tracking_results.h\" not found.\",\"id\":\"missingInclude\"},\n{\"file\":\"/home/brendan/repositories/tracking-analyzer/tracking-analyzer/tracking-analyzer-gui/application.h\",\"line\":6,\"column\":0,\"severity\":\"information\",\"message\":\"Include file: <QApplication> not found.

The problem with this example is quotation marks in the missing include file paths. They break JSON parsing.
v0.1.0
Write a set of tasks that emulate the GH workflows.
v0.1.0
Ensure the extension runs on C files. I've only checked it on C++ files.

The start column for editor squiggles is too high by 1. See this example:
The squiggle should start one column to the left, under the "n" in namespace.
v0.1.0
The release process should:
Offload as much as possible to a GH workflow.
v0.1.0
The current behavior requires the developer to save a file to run Cppcheck. Add functionality to run Cppcheck when the developer opens the file, too.
v0.1.0
When someone submits a new issue, run the workflow. It should update the description with a list of tasks for the assignee. The tasks are:
