The problem of high memory usage

[石增辉]

When I scan a repository of hundreds of C files (Version: V2.15.0 linux)

Based on the output log, I found that:
1. At the beginning, the scanning speed is very fast, but after a period of time, the speed of log printing will be much slower
2. Each cppcheck process will occupy 700M of memory

I really want to know why this situation occurs and where the configuration is wrong? Especially why does it occupy such a high amount of memory, and how can I avoid it?

Here is the command I ran:
./cppcheck -j 8 --force --max-configs=1000 --xml --xml-version=2 ./ source_code/ 2>./report/report.xml

Does adding a build cache with --cppcheck-build-dir=

help ?

Firstly, thank you for your reply

As you said, I added:-- cppcheck-build-dir=./

1. According to the information printed in the log, it is still similar to before:
The scanning of the first few hundred files seems to be completed quickly, but it is getting slower and slower, taking several minutes to scan a file

2. Each cppcheck process occupies 700M of memory
