Code linting in code::blocks (specificly C++)
« on: October 02, 2018, 11:04:15 am »
It has been over a decade since:

Speaking of which congrats for keeping the project alive for that long.

Is linting possible in code blocks?

This (unverifiable) page says you can:

What do you understand by code linting?
Higlightening wrong code in the ide? If this-> There is the cbClang plugin that allows this. But you have to build the plugin by yourself. https://github.com/yvesdm3000/ClangLib
Run some code analyzer on top of your code? If this-> What program?

If you are talking about this:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19205-01/820-4180/man1/lint.1.html

Can you give some example command line you call for lint?

Sorry for late reply, not sure about elsewhere but the fourms have been down semi regularly for me.

Not sure about a specific command, but something similar to what eclipse or visual studio ide does. something like the red lines below text that has a compiling issue.

When I type complete gibberish, no real time linting occurs, its only until after I build that a red box appears, but even then, no description is provided, I have to manually check "build messages".
