Release Notes for Cppcheck 2.14.0

Summary:

  • Fixed 23 "crash" tickets
  • Fixed 69 "false positive" tickets
  • Fixed 36 "improve check" tickets

New checks:

  • eraseIteratorOutOfBounds: warns when erase() is called on an iterator that is out of bounds
  • returnByReference: warns when a large class member is returned by value from a getter function

GUI:
-Make it possible to suppress warnings in all files in a folder

Changed interface:

  • Fixed crash with '--rule-file=' if some data was missing.
  • '--rule-file' will now bail out if a rule could not be added or a file contains unexpected data.
  • Add option '--check-version', you can use it to pin the cppcheck version in a script.
  • Added '--template=simple'. It is expands to '{file}:{line}:{column}: {severity}:{inconclusive:inconclusive:} {message} [{id}]' without any additional location details.
  • Removed deprecated platform type 'Unspecified'. Please use 'unspecified' instead.
  • Add --file-filter=- option that reads file filters from stdin. Added for a plugin.

Other:

  • Added CMake option 'EXTERNALS_AS_SYSTEM' to treat external includes as 'SYSTEM' ones.
  • The minimum required compiler versions have been bumped to GCC 5.1 / Clang 3.5 / Visual Studio 2015
  • The minimum required CMake version has been bumped to 3.5
  • Using Visual Studio with CMake now checks if the CMake version is at least 3.13. This was always required but was not checked explicitly.
  • Removed deprecated 'Makefile' option 'SRCDIR'.
  • Added CMake option 'DISALLOW_THREAD_EXECUTOR' to control the inclusion of the executor which performs the analysis within a thread of the main process.
  • Removed CMake option 'USE_THREADS' in favor of 'DISALLOW_THREAD_EXECUTOR'.
  • misra-config will not be treated as a critical error anymore

Safety critical:

  • #12440 : Misra violations found but cppcheck exited with 0 even after specifying exit code
