Unused functions in namespace not detected

[Mad Max]

Hi,

If I define an unused function like this, it's properly detected as unused by cppcheck:

namespace abc {
  void iAmNotUsed() {
  }
}

But if I define it like this, it's not detected:

void abc::iAmNotUsed() {
}

In both cases the function is declared in a header file inside the "abc" namespace. Both are equivalent, so IMO both should work. I'm trying to use cppcheck to detect unused functions in our large code base, but I can't do it because of this problem. Thank you.

Are you providing namespace abc somehow?

namespace abc {
  void iAmNotUsed();
}

void abc::iAmNotUsed() { }

gives:

./cppcheck used.cpp --enable=all --inconclusive
Checking used.cpp ...
[used.cpp:5]: (style) The function 'iAmNotUsed' is never used.

Are you setting the include paths properly?

Indeed, I didn't set the include path. Thank you!
