This package provides the following services:
linter-cppcheck
A linter for Atom using Cppcheck.
Requirements
Cppcheck needs to be installed (or at least available). Its path can be configured.
Without Linter this package is rather useless.
Configuration
The package settings are available at: Edit > Preferences > Packages > linter-cppcheck
You can configure the location of the Cppcheck executable. The default is to
look for cppcheck in your $PATH environment variable. In most cases this
should ‘just work’.
For Windows users: Cppcheck’s executable is probably not available as
cppcheck in your %PATH%. On Windows you will most likely have to configure
the path yourself in the Executable field (e.g. C:\Program Files\Cppcheck\cppcheck.exe, but it may vary).
You can also configure which checks Cppcheck should perform. If you want to know
more about these checks please see the Cppcheck Manual (PDF) or run man cppcheck.
Acknowledgements
This package is really a tiny amount of glue between other great pieces of software, namely the Linter package, the atom-linter module and — of course — Cppcheck.
