Command line arguments not correctly transmitted to cppcheck about cppcheclipse

[GoogleCodeExporter]

To help me resolve that issue, please provide further information. 
1. What is the output you see in console, when running cppcheck. 
2. Are there any errors in the error.log? 
3. Could you attach a sample source which produces issues with cppcheck GUI but 
not
with cppcheclipse.

The source code doesn't matter. For a quick test, the following will do

int main()
{
    char a;
    char b = 0;
    char c[10];
    char *d = 0;

    strcpy(d, "something"); // Produces error

    a = c[b]; // Produces warning
}

The Java console shows: 
Executing '"C:\Program Files\Cppcheck\cppcheck.exe" --xml --enable=all  
C:\junk.cpp'
<?xml version="1.0"?>
Checking C:\junk.cpp...
<results>
<error file="C:\junk.cpp" line="10" id="nullPointer" severity="error" 
msg="Possible
null pointer dereference: d"/>
</results>
Duration 125 ms.

However, running the same command in a DOS command prompt will yield something 
different.

c:\projects>"C:\Program Files\Cppcheck\cppcheck.exe" --xml --enable=all  
C:\junk.cpp
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<results>
Checking C:\junk.cpp...
<error file="C:\junk.cpp" line="12" id="charArrayIndex" severity="style" 
msg="Warning
- using char
 variable as array index"/>
<error file="C:\junk.cpp" line="10" id="nullPointer" severity="error" 
msg="Possible
null pointer d
ereference: d"/>
Checking usage of global functions..
</results>

Thanks for that example, I could now reproduce it. This is caused by how the 
command
line arguments are given to cppcheck with Java. There were some spaces too much,
which lead to some options not being recognized by cppcheck. In your example, 
only
the --xml was evaluated by cppcheck, but not the --enable=all. 
After spotting that bug, I will try to upload a new version as soon as possible.
