Restrict analysis to certain files #4

Closed keck-in-space closed 4 years ago

keck-in-space commented 5 years ago

Is it possible to restrict analysis output to certain files only? There are a lot of library files that are part of the ARM CMSIS standard that cause Cobra to output matches, but that are not relevant for analysis since those files won't be changed. Is there a way to filter the output to only specific files?

Hi David, There's no builtin option to filter those warnings, but it would be easy to postprocess the output with an awk-filter and throw out all the non-relevant matches. I guess one could imagine a command line option that sets a prefix for all file matches that should be ignored. It's a thought. -g

That's true. I'll give awk a try. Thank you!
