Warning found with GUI doesn't show in CLI

[Julian Wörle]

Hey everybody,

I'm using cppcheck version 2.2

I identified a warning with the cppcheck GUI in my program. When I use the the CLI to find the same warning, it doesn't show up.
I can provide this small sample code:

// file: test.c

uint32_t test_func(uint32_t state)
{
    uint32_t ret = 0;

    switch(state)
    {
        case 0:
            ret = 1;
        case 1:
            ret = 2;
            break;
        default:
            ret = 3;
            break;
    }

    return ret;
}

The GUI informs me with a warning about the missing break; after case 0
If I execute the following command with CLI no warnings are shown:

cppcheck test.c --enable=warning

If I execute the following command in the CLI, I get the warning

cppcheck test.c --enable=style

Output:

Checking test.c ...
test.c:10:8: warning: Variable 'ret' is reassigned a value before the old one has been used. 'break;' missing? [redundantAssignInSwitch]
   ret = 2;
       ^
test.c:8:8: note: $symbol is assigned
   ret = 1;
       ^
test.c:10:8: note: $symbol is overwritten
   ret = 2;
       ^

Do I do something wrong? I just want to find the same warnings with CLI as are shown in the GUI if I have enabled warnings there.
If I use the --enable=style option, there are shown too much other messages, which I don't want to display with the "warnings-check".

Thanks and best regards

Julian
