Enabling Checks for this warning class are disabled by default. To enable them, add the following WARNING_FILTER rule to the project configuration file. 
WARNING_FILTER += allow class="High Cyclomatic Complexity (Procedure)"

Example 

static int low_cyclomatic_complexity(int i) {      // ok: cyclomatic complexity <20
  int rv = 0;
  if (i) {
    rv = 1;
  }
  return rv;
}
