How do I ignore certain file types with cppcheck?

Im using cppcheck to analyze my c++ code. I have some .svg/.png files in my source, which makes cppcheck report a lot of errors of the following type:

fileName1.svg:2: error: Cppcheck: Invalid number of character (() when these macros are defined: ''.

Is there an easy way I can make cppcheck ignore files of a certain type?

Solution

  • Normally cppcheck checks only C and C++ files.

    However, if you tell cppcheck to check .svg files it will check those. For example:

    cppcheck filename1.svg

    or

    cppcheck *.*

    So check your command line and make sure you are not giving cppcheck .svg filenames.

    If you have problems, let me see your command line.
