System Requirements

This section will help you verify that your system meets the minimum requirements for using C/C++test Standard.

Windows 64-bit

• Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019
• 4GB memory minimum, 8GB recommended¹
• 2GHz or faster processor (x86_64-compatible), multi-CPU configuration recommended
• Supported C/C++ compiler

Linux 64-bit

x86 architecture

• Linux with glibc 2.12 (or newer)
• 4GB memory minimum, 8GB recommended¹
• 2GHz or faster processor (x86_64-compatible), multi-CPU configuration recommended
• Supported C/C++ compiler

MIPS architecture

• Linux (Loongson/mips64el) with glibc 2.19 (or newer)
• 4GB memory minimum, 8GB recommended¹
• Loongson-3A (mips64)-compatible processor, multi-CPU configuration recommended

• Supported C/C++ compiler

¹ C/C++test  may allocate up to 1GB RAM on 32-bit machines or up to 2GB RAM on 64-bit machines for the Java Virtual Machine process. You can change memory allocation for the JVM process in the [<NSTALL_DIR>/etc/cpptestcli.jvm configuration file (-Xmx option). When running an analysis, C/C++test’s native code analyzers will require additional memory, depending on the test configuration parameters.

IDE Integration

Parasoft C/C++test Standard can analyze locally buildable projects in your IDE . This section describes the requirements to import and work with findings in an IDE. To perform code analysis, ensure that your system meets the minimum system requirements.

Supported IDEs

• Eclipse 4.3¹, 4.4¹, 4.5¹, 4.6 - 4.15 (2020-03)

• Visual Studio 2012¹, 2013¹, 2015,  2017, and 2019

• Visual Studio Code²

The Visual Studio Express edition is not supported.

¹ Support for this IDE is deprecated and will be removed in future releases.

² This user guide only covers installation details; see Extension for Visual Studio Code. For information about supported features and usage, see the extension documentation in Visual Studio Code.

DTP Integration

If you connect your C/C++test instance to DTP, ensure that the DTP version you're connecting to supports your C/C++test version. See Parasoft Product Cross-compatibility.
