# Visual Studio integration add-in for Cppcheck

[![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/8qe1iy0ook8rme9o?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/VioletGiraffe/cppcheck-vs-addin)

[Cppcheck](http://cppcheck.sourceforge.net/) is a C and C++ source code static analysis tool.

This plugin integrates Cppcheck into Visual Studio and allows:

 * automatically checking every C / C++ source file upon saving;

 * checking the currently selected project in the Solution Explorer (menu -> Tools -> Check current project);

 * convenient message suppression management with options to suppress specific messages, all messages in a given file, specific message types in a given file, message types globally, solution-wide and project-wide.

### Download

Visual Studio 2022 is supported. VS2019, 2017 and 2015 are supported by the older releases.

**Get the latest release**

NOTE: The add-in does not deploy Cppcheck executable. Please, go to [Cppcheck](http://cppcheck.sourceforge.net/) website, download the installer and install it before first use of the add-in. The add-in then may prompt for location of the `cppcheck.exe`.

### Contributors

Should you decide to open, build and debug the project please follow these steps:

Use Visual Studio 2022 - ensure you have the workload for Extension Development installed. All SDKs are referenced as nuget packages and should 

 

 * Press F5 (*Debug* -> *Start Debugging*) to have the project built and deployed into "Experimental Instance" of Visual Studio.

 This should start another ("experimental") instance of Visual Studio *of the same version* with the addin deployed there.

  * If the project builds fine but "Experimental instance" does not start

(you get *Visual Studio cannot start debugging because the debug target is missing*) message

or the wrong Visual Studio version is started do the following:

  * right-click the project in Solution Explorer and get to *Properties*

  * get to *Debug* tab

  * next to *start external program* alter the path so that it points to where the right version of Visual Studio is installed. Path should be something like *"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"*

  * In the same window add */rootsuffix Exp* to *Command line arguments*
