[MSVC][arm64] CppCheck failed due to error C2039 on Windows arm64 building

[Quella Zhang]

The MSVC team tried to build cppcheck on Windows arm64 to detect compiler regressions, but it failed with the following error, can you take a look?

Repro steps:
1. set VSCMD_SKIP_SENDTELEMETRY=1 & "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat" -host_arch=amd64 -arch=arm64
2. git https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck.git C:\gitP\danmar\cppcheck
3. mkdir C:\gitP\danmar\cppcheck\build_arm64
4. cd /d C:\gitP\danmar\cppcheck\build_arm64
5. cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A arm64 -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=10.0.22621.0 ..
6. msbuild /m /p:Platform=arm64 /p:Configuration=Release Cppcheck.sln /t:Rebuild

I'm afraid we don't test with Windows on ARM. Does the build succeed if cppcheckexecutorseh.cppis modified to use the #ifdef _M_IX86 block instead of the #else block?

[Quella Zhang]

It will also fail.

Thanks for reporting, ticket is here: https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/12991

Btw, maybe some strings could be pulled so that the project gets access to ARM64 runners?
