This is due to bug 1318 in cppcheck 1.43
(http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/cppcheck/ticket/1318). However version 0.96 
will
have a workaround implemented. Till cppcheclipse 0.96 is released, either use
cppcheck 1.42 or the latest version of cppcheck from git where the bug is fixed 
since
yesterday.

A lot of thanks. Workaround with 1.42 works good for me. Thanks again
