Cppcheck 2.16

[Daniel Marjamäki]

I would like to release Cppcheck 2.16 in 2-3 weeks.

If there is work on major refactorings or features I suggest we integrate those either in the next couple of days or after the release.

My goal is to release Cppcheck-2.16 on saturday. October 26th.

Hello,

We are calling cppcheck with -DG_DEFINE_TYPE and ignoring G_DEFINE_TYPE macros with suppressing constStatement:. Since version 2.16 we are getting syntaxError instead of constStatement for the macros.

Failing case:
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/actions/runs/11585493148/job/32254494102

It fails with

syntaxError:../widgets/src/BaseStandalone.c:68: syntax error
syntaxError:../widgets/src/BaseWindow.c:166: syntax error
syntaxError:../widgets/src/DiskOverview.c:120: syntax error
syntaxError:../widgets/src/HubWindow.c:96: syntax error
syntaxError:../widgets/src/LayoutIndicator.c:86: syntax error
syntaxError:../widgets/src/MountpointSelector.c:102: syntax error
syntaxError:../widgets/src/SpokeSelector.c:94: syntax error
syntaxError:../widgets/src/SpokeWindow.c:68: syntax error
syntaxError:../widgets/src/StandaloneWindow.c:67: syntax error

For example here:
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/blob/840d6a43fce702403df0d1ddf33c16fd857d5b45/widgets/src/BaseStandalone.c#L68

The check is called with these suppressions:
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/blob/master/tests/cppcheck/suppression-list.txt
with these options:
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/blob/840d6a43fce702403df0d1ddf33c16fd857d5b45/tests/cppcheck/runcppcheck.sh#L50

Do you have any hint on how to approach the issue?
Would it be OK to just suppress syntaxError instead of constStatement? Then it should be perhaps more location specific.

Thank you
