You can change the output template to display the error id from the command line, which is quite neat.

For a Visual Studio format output with error id displayed, add this to your command line:

This will produce output something like this:

Which you can then suppress by adding the line:

// cppcheck-suppress bufferAccessOutOfBounds

To the previous line in the source file.
