Please tell me about the uses or working of cppcheck after including the header files for analysis

[Dinesh]

Hi ,
Please tell me the differences with/without header files during the cppcheck's analysis.
Actually i am integrating cppcheck's report with sonar, will sonar's dashboard will contain any differences?

After including header files, it took 5 days(approx) complete the analysis, even though i used -j 4 and max-config to 2 options.
Please help.

thanks,
Dinesh

And confused that, the LOC has reduced after including header files for analysis. and i could see the functions , classes are reduced to few numbers.

Does cppcheck errors on header files? if yes, what rules are applied on it? where can i find this info, thw rules that are associated with header files?

thanks,
Dinesh

At best run cppcheck on a complete tree (directory) - see http://cppcheck.sourceforge.net/manual.html#idp258480. cppcheck will examine all .cpp/.c and included headers. The same rules apply for header and source files.
LOC, number of classes are not output of cppcheck, so I cannot tell anything about that.
