It seems that you are asking for the linter functionality -- something
that Chris implemented a couple of months ago.  :)  You can add to a
syntax file a line that says "linter <command>", whereupon nano will
run the given checking command on the current file when you hit ^T.

So, if you put "linter cppcheck" in your c.nanorc, then ^T will run
cppcheck on your editing buffer and highlight any issues it finds.

But instead of changing the syntax file, it is probably easier to
add "extendsyntax c linter cppcheck" to your .nanorc file.
Instead of cppcheck you can use any other code checker.
Is this what you meant?
