Hello,

I was using Cppcheck v2.13.0 and checking both .c and .h files. After upgrading to v2.14.1, Cppcheck started giving me unusedStructMember warnings for many structures.

This raises the question: Is it the correct approach to check only the .c files, or should I continue checking both the .c and .h files?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

It's more correct to check only the .c files. But provide include paths with -I so your .h files are included. unusedStructMember false positives are expected if you check .h files directly instead of including them.
