misra rules check and txt files

[Simone Gasparella]

I am trying the free version of Cppcheck (using version 2.6) ,
I tried to run the following command for checking the misra rules in a particular c file ..

python misra.py --rule-texts=misra_rules_dummy.txt inverter.c

but I got this ... (view in the attachments)

Any idea about what could be ?

Please let me know

Thanks

Hello!

The misra addon runs its analysis on a cppcheck dump file (xml format).

I'd recommend that you run addons using --addon:

cppcheck --addon=misra.json inverter.c

To load the proper rule texts file, create a misra.json file with this text:

{
   "script": "misra",
   "args": [ "--rule-texts=misra_rules_dummy.txt" ]
}

If you do not like --addon you can create the dump file manually and run the misra script directly:

cppcheck --dump inverter.c
python misra.py --rule-texts=misra_rules_dummy.txt inverter.c.dump
