Frederick Gotham - 2021-12-23

My project is about 10 - 20 source files.

If I configure cppcheck with "--library=std --library=boost --library=wxwidgets", and then give it the paths to the header files for Boost and wxWidgets, it takes more than 6 hours to do all its checks. (Github Actions abandoned the workflow after 6 hours so I don't know how long it would have taken).

Anyone got any suggestions to speed it up?

If I don't supply the paths to the header files then it only takes a minute or two. Are you supposed to just do "--library=wxwidgets" wthout giving it the path to the wxWidgets header files?

  What version of cppcheck are you using? Also are you compiling it or using a package?

yes that is the idea.
