cppcheck 1.90 on Windows10:

cppcheck seems to pick up the file path from a #line directive as is if given. On Windows, backslashes in the original file path are escaped (double backslash) in #line directives (as required by the cpp standard I believe).

Would it be possible to revert the backslash escape of those file paths in the cppcheck output (maybe for Windows only)?

Or am I missing some config here?

Many thanks.

Yes we should do that.

Could you create a ticket in the simplecpp issue tracker?
https://github.com/danmar/simplecpp/issues

If you have some time feel free to try to make a fix. Here is a test I think is related:
