I tried using the code analysis in Visual Studio 2017 but I got so many
warnings from Qt headers it wasn't much use. I finally managed to get a
solution out of Microsoft and I thought others might be interested:
If you open your .vcxproj file, down the bottom you should see:
<Import Project="$(VCTargetsPath)\Microsoft.Cpp.targets" />
<ImportGroup Label="ExtensionTargets">
</ImportGroup>
below this you can add:
<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Language)'=='C++'">
<IncludePath>$(QTDIR)\include;.\GeneratedFiles;$(IncludePath)</IncludePath>
<CAExcludePath>$(QTDIR)\include;.\GeneratedFiles;$(CAExcludePath)</CAExcludePath>
</PropertyGroup>
Microsoft say there's a bug where CAExcludePath is overwritten by IncludePath
but this is fixed in Visual Studio 2017 V15.3 and you'll only need to set
CAExcludePath - I haven't verified this.
The answer is also here for future reference:
