cppcheck not considering the included paths with '\\'

[Krishna]

In my project cmake is generating compilation_commands.json for IAR toolchain. See below for example data.

{
“directory”: “D:\iar-release”,
“command”: "D:\IAR\Ver8_50_1\arm\bin\iccarm.exe --silent D:\AppStub.c -Itmh
-I…\…\product\application -I…\…\shared\common -I…\…\shared
“file”: “D:\AppStub.c”
}

Parsing this file to cppckeck with --project option.
Issue is that cppcheck is ignoring the included paths as paths having the double backslashes. Due to this not seeing cppcheck errors for header files, only seeing c files errors. This I conformed enabling --verbose, it was printing included path like -I……productapplication -I……sharedcommon -I……shared.

If we modify above json file replacing double backslashes with single forward slash then seeing cppcheck errors as expected.

Suspecting this is a bug in cppcheck tool.

Please clarify.

could you tell us which cppcheck version you use. And can you attach the compile_commands.json ; it is fine if it is reduced I just want to know that the sourceforge wiki formatting hasn't changed your text somehow..

Hi Daniel,

Attached compile_commands.json. Using cppcheck 1.88 version .

Using cppcheck 1.88 version .

It would feel good if you could try with cppcheck-2.4.1 because there has been several fixes in the import handling.

Thank you very much, with 2.4.1 issue is resolved.
