Problem with running addon directly from cppcheck

[Łukasz]

Since version 1.88 there is a possibility to run addons directly from cppcheck by using --addon option. I tried today to use it with namingng.py addon, but when I typed following command:

cppcheck --enable=style --std=c++03 --addon=namingng.py [path-to-file]

I received error message:

usage: namingng.py [-h] [--debugprint] [--configfile CONFIGFILE] [--verify]
                   dumpfiles [dumpfiles ...]
namingng.py: error: unrecognized arguments: --cli

It is seems to me that propably cppcheck doesn't attach path to generated .dump file. However if I understand cppcheck manual right, it should:

9.1 Running Addons

Addons are standalone scripts that are executed separately.
To manually run an addon:
cppcheck --dump somefile.c
python misc.py somefile.c.dump
To run the same addon through Cppcheck directly:
cppcheck --addon=misc.py somefile.c

Could you tell me, how to correctly run this addon?

oh.. this addon does not handle --cli. So it cannot be executed directly. :-( We need to fix that.

That argument tells the addons to output the results in JSON format so Cppcheck can parse it easily.

ok, I have to deal with it manually then. Thanks.
