knownConditionTrueFalse is being flagged in tests where we want the test to confirm the values

[Steve Albright]

We have a bunch of tests like this using the REQUIRE or google test keywords and I have to add suppresssion (no, I don't want to take the code out, I want the test run)

                    REQUIRE(MessageTwo == TestMessage); // cppcheck-suppress knownConditionTrueFalse - let the test confirm
                    REQUIRE(TestMessage == MessageTwo); // cppcheck-suppress knownConditionTrueFalse - let the test confirm

EXPECT_TRUE(mes == mesNull);

Thanks! I created ticket https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/12756

could you please create a minimal example code that cause the false positive? So we can add that as a regression test.

Part of the problem may have been that we didn't have googletest listed as a library so I'll have to check and see if that fixed it.

Update: the config change fixed it in the case I found.
