Hi,

There are great Cppcheck plugins for Visual Studio and QTCreator.
Both these provide good in line results.
Both these have 1 config for all projects. You can only configure Cppcheck generally.

This is not ideal when working on diffrent projects with different standards.
Clang-tidy and Clang-format have a good approach for this, where both these tools look for a config file.

Is this also possible with Cppcheck? This would be a great feature!

For example: cppcheck --search-config-file.
This would then allow Cppcheck to search for a config file in the projects and go upwards from there.
Different projects then have different config files, but the plugin only needs to be configured once to use --search-config-file for all projects.

Regards,

Emiel
