Use wildcard to exclude paths in PVS-Studio configuration file

I would like to exclude 3rd-party libraries from analysis.

exclude-path=*/boost/*
exclude-path=*/llvm/*

But it doesn't work. I still have Boost-related messages in output log.

How to filter out messages based on wildcard?

Solution

  • As at the 2020 year, PVS-Studio supports exclusion of directories using masks both in the configuration file:

    exclude-path=*/boost/*
exclude-path=*/llvm/*

    and in the launch parameters:

    pvs-studio-analyzer analyzer ... -e \*/boost/\* -e \*/llvm/\* ...
