Re: [cdt-dev] new metric plug-in based on Codan checkers

Hey Kesselhaus

According to the error you posted, it seems like you have used the
outdated update site. Maybe you overlooked my latest post stating the
correct update site url which is
http://sinv-56013.edu.hsr.ch/metriculator/updatesite-nightly/site/. I
am sorry for posting it wrong the first time.

One of the exceptions in your attached error log was caused by a bug
in our software, which was not able to deal with C specific AST
interfaces. Metriculator was originally designed to support C++.
Supporting C, I guess, would not require much effort. But since we had
to release a stable software at the end of our thesis we decided to
ignore C for now. Maybe in the future metriculator will be extended to
support C as well.

Greetings
Ueli
