System Requirements

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

Windows 64-bit

x86_64 architecture

  • Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022
  • 4GB memory minimum, 8GB recommended1
  • 2GHz or faster processor (x86_64-compatible), multi-CPU configuration recommended
  • Supported C/C++ compiler

Linux 64-bit

x86_64 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

aarch64/arm64 architecture

  • Linux with glibc 2.27 (or newer)
  • 4GB memory minimum, 8GB recommended1
  • aarch64-compatible processor, multi-CPU configuration recommended
  • Supported C/C++ compiler

MIPS architecture

Java Requirement

C/C++test requires Java 8 or higher to be installed on your machine.

  • 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 4.6 - 4.23 (2022-03)

    For the Loongson/mips64el C/C++test distribution, Eclipse integration is not available.

  • Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022

  • Visual Studio Code1

The Visual Studio Express edition is not supported.

1 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.

IP Address Formats

IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.
