I'm writing a tool called check-all-the-things[1], which is a wrapper
for all of the available checking tools. Since cppcheck can find input
files on its own, I have made c-a-t-t unconditionally run cppcheck.
Unfortunately on directories without C/C++ files it complains. I think
this is unnecessary and just increases noise from c-a-t-t and other
tools that may run cppcheck. For example:

$ rm -rf foo ; mkdir foo ; cd foo ; cppcheck --quiet -f . ; cd .. ; rm -rf foo
cppcheck: error: could not find or open any of the paths given.

FYI, bug submitters are not subscribed by default,
it would have been nice to have gotten a CC on this.
Thanks for forwarding it upstream anyway :)
