[cdt-dev] Why are there 2 places to set up launch modes for codan checke

[Alex Ruiz <alruiz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

Why there are two places to set up launch modes for codan checkers, at
the project level? There is one, which is the regular property page
showing individual checkers ("C/C++ General" > "Code Analysis"), and
the second one is  "C/C++ General" > "Code Analysis" > "Launching"
(screenshot attached). Having these two is confusing and potentially
error-prone (IMHO). It is pretty hard for me to see the point of the
second one, as a regular user.

Let's say I select "Run as you type (selected checkers)", while being
on this page, I don't know what are the selected pages (they are not
shown). Probably it would be better to:

1. Remove the second project property page, or
2. Merge both

I'd prefer #1 BTW

WDYT?

Thanks,
-Alex
