confusion about perfomed check with --enable

[frithjofh]

hello,

the help information of cppcheck 1.68 states that enabling style enables the following checks:

• style
  Enable all coding style checks. All messages
  with the severities 'style', 'performance' and
  'portability' are enabled.

I may be wrong, but if I put only --enable=style there are also warning messages appearing in the output. Maybe I get something wrong there...?

regards

hello again,

another issue I observed is that i get a missing include message when I enable only "missingInclude" check, but it states the severity "information".

And I get the same message with the same severity when I only enable "information" check... (scanning the same code)

I think I don't understand the relation of enabled checks and resulting messages/severities. Does the information check bundle unused function check and missing includes check?

Another issue i observe is that setting the -j option to a value higher than 1 disables the information check too. At least I get no information messages anymore, and neither any missing includes messages. As to now I think the manual only states that the unused functions check gets disabled...

By the way: I think there are 6 severities, right? How many ID's are there, and how do they correlate with the severities?

--errorlist gives you a list of all messages or checks.

oh, thanks, I overlooked that option... I will have a look at it, that should give an answer to one of my questions already. Thanks again.
