C Static Analysers: setting up to automatically include all files that the IDE/compiler knows about

Question

Do I have to manually tell the static analyser which files to include in the analysis?

I'm using a NetBeans-based IDE (MPLAB X) to program an embedded system in C (with the XC8 compiler). It is very easy to build the project, and when I add .c or .h files to the project via the GUI, it automatically adds them to the set of files that are compiled.

What is common practice for automation of adding files to be passed to a tool? (such as a static analyser, (I will probably use splint, or possibly frama-c).

In other words, I would like to be able to run the static analyser by hitting a shortcut key, whereby it will include all necessary .c and .h files automatically, analyse them, and return the result.

Yet another way of putting it: I don't want to have to manually manipulate the arguments sent to the static analyser CLI executable each time I add a .c or .h file, or change their names, etc.

How should this be done? How is this typically done for supplementary tools to the build process, such as static analysers?

Thanks
