QTCreator add -Weffc++ to build

sandro4912

I want to add -Weffc++ as a flag for gcc so i can find some more bad practices on compilation.

When I do this in the .pro file of my project:

QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -Weffc++

It also throws me a million errors with the qt files. how can I tell the compiler to only look into my files?

Hi
I don't think that is possible since for the compiler there are
no theirs or mine files. its all just files in the project.

So you have to process the output to exclude warnings for files you are not interested in.

what do you mean with process the output?

@sandro4912
find a way to filter it using other app or similar to extract the
lines you want to see.
Its not possible directly in creator.

Can you show one of the unwanted warnings ?

well it starts like this:

mrjj

So
maybe you could scan for
/home/sandro/Qt/5.13.0/gcc_64/include/

and remove that line and next line if it follows the same pattern ?

@mrjj said in QTCreator add -Weffc++ to build:

/home/sandro/Qt/5.13.0/gcc_64/include/

can i do that in creator automatically?

mrjj

@sandro4912
nope. write small qt program to do it.
Should be pretty simple if thats the patthern the warnings has.
