Error during SonarQube Scanner execution: Unable to analyze file

[Riruk]

Hello,

I am running SonarQube with SonarQube C++ Community plugin to analyze Mozilla Firefox project. However, I get the error while running the analysis (I attach the log of the error message below). I have tried to search for a fix to this error, but I was not able to find anything smarter than just to skip the analysis of the specific files, which causes the scanning error. Could you look at this issue?

Here are some examples of files (all of them are symlinks - maybe this is is a source for the problem, but there are plenty of other symlinks, which do not cause any errors), which analysis leads to an error (For simplicity, I also attach the files itself: Mozilla_errors.zip):
PATH-TO-Mozilla_Source/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dist/include/nsISupportsBase.h
PATH-TO-Mozilla_Source/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dist/include/nsPIDOMWindow.h
PATH-TO-Mozilla_Source/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dist/include/nsSVGUtils.h

I'm using the following configuration:
OS: CentOS 7
SonarQube 5.6
SonarQube C++ Community plugin 0.9.7
Sonar-Scanner 3.0.1.733

The link to the Mozilla repository, which I use for scanning: https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev
Short revision hash: e686107

The error log:

Hi @Riruk, think there is something wrong with

org.sonar.squidbridge.api.AnalysisException: Unable to analyze file: PATH-TO-Mozilla_Source/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dist/include/nsISupportsBase.h

visitTemplateDeclaration:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

You are using v0.9.7. Maybe you can try if already fixed with v0.9.8? You can dowload a snapshot from here: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/SonarOpenCommunity/sonar-cxx/branch/master/artifacts

It seems, that update to 0.9.8 fixes this issue.
Thank you!
