Add Cppcheck analysis to the xen-analysis.py script using the
arguments --run-cppcheck.
Now cppcheck analysis will build Xen while the analysis is performed
on the source files, it will produce a text report and an additional
html output when the script is called with --cppcheck-html.
With this patch cppcheck will benefit of platform configuration files
that will help it to understand the target of the compilation and
improve the analysis. These are XML files placed in
xen/tools/cppcheck-plat/, describing to cppcheck the length of basic
types to help it in the analysis.
To do so:
- Update xen-analysis.py with the code to integrate cppcheck.
- add platform configuration files for cppcheck..
- add cppcheck-cc.sh script that is a wrapper for cppcheck and it's
used as Xen compiler, it will intercept all flags given from the
make build system and it will execute cppcheck on the compiled
file together with the file compilation.
- guarded hypercall-defs.c with CPPCHECK define because cppcheck
gets confused as the file does not contain c code.
- add false-positive-cppcheck.json file
- update documentation.
- update .gitignore
