Configuring Cppcheck, Cpplint, and JSON Lint

• jsonlint

  2 1,905 0.0 JavaScript

  A JSON parser and validator with a CLI.

I dedicated Sunday morning to going over the documentation of the linters we use in the project. The goal was to understand all options and use them in the best way for our project. Seeing their manuals side by side was nice because even very similar things are solved differently. Cppcheck is the most configurable and best documented; JSON Lint lies at the other end.

• cpplint

  2 1,462 8.6 Python

  Static code checker for C++

  

I was configuring them as I was reading. I have done this before, but we had some months of use since then, and I have seen it working in real-time. I got a lot out of this second read and configuration round. I discovered that I over-configured Cppcheck; there is much more to get out of Cpplint, and I reviewed the JSON Schema versions.
