lint_mode background doesn't work

[kinglouie]

I'm using SublimeText on OS X El Capitan and installed cppcheck via homebrew.
When saving a file the linter works just fine but it seems he won't do anything on the fly when I'm typing.
I checked the settings for lint_mode and it is set to background, with php the background mode works just fine.

If you need any further information please let me know!

Thanks!

It's expected (but not explicitly documented ..) : we use the file-only mode : http://www.sublimelinter.com/en/latest/linter_attributes.html#file-only-linters

As far as I know, cppcheck can't lint by reading from stdin, and really wants a file in the proper folder, otherwise there are many errors about relative headers not found, which means we can't use a temp file in another folder.

too bad!
Thanks nonetheless :)
