Platform path not detected when importing project from sub folder

[Julien]

Hi,

Assuming following project structure

- MyProject
       - Cppcheck
              - Project.cppcheck
              - platform.xml
       - src
              - main.c

When calling cppcheck from command line : cppcheck --project=Cppcheck/Project.cppcheck directly from MyProject/ path, with a custom platform.xml on Cppcheck/ project directory the platform file is not found.

cppcheck: error: unrecognized platform: "platform.xml".

Looking at the code :
else if (!mSettings->loadPlatformFile(argv[0], platform)) {
argv[0] is the path from where we are calling cppcheck MyProject/ but that would be better to check in the path where the project file Project.cppcheck is located as everything should be relative to this file location Cppcheck/

Thanks! I will investigate this. Well replacing argv[0] is not a good idea neither we want to be able to load platform files in the binary path.

I believe I have fixed this let us know if you will continue to see problems.

Thank you very much this was a fast fix !

I will give it a try soon and keep yoy updated.
Just one thing I seen 2x the same line here :

filenames.push_back(Path::getPathFromFilename(Path::fromNativeSeparators(exename))

Does the second one should not have + ".xml" ?

Thanks, it works perfectly!
