Overview

You must configure C/C++test for specific C and C++ compilers, including compiler versions, before running the analysis. See Running Static Analysis for basic information on configuring compilers. For a full list of supported compilers, see Supported Compilers.

Specifying Multiple Compilers

If multiple compilers need to be used during a single test run, they can be configured with the following extended syntax of the -compiler / cpptest.compiler.family option where <COMPILER_COMMAND> is the path to the original compiler executable and ’*’ is match-all character:

-compiler <COMPILER_ID>:<COMPILER_COMMAND>;<COMPILER_ID>:<COMPILER_COMMAND>;...
cpptest.compiler.family=<COMPILER_ID>:<COMPILER_COMMAND>;<COMPILER_ID>:<COMPILER_COMMAND>;...

Example

-compiler vc_14_3:*cl.exe;gcc_9-64:/usr/bin/gcc.exe
cpptest.compiler.family=vc_14_3:*cl.exe;gcc_9-64:/usr/bin/gcc.exe

Working with Custom Compiler Configurations

When working with custom compiler configurations, the configuration files should be copied into a directory defined with the cpptest.compiler.dir.user configuration entry:

cpptest.compiler.dir.user=/home/custom_compilers

Each custom compiler should be located in a dedicated subdirectory with unique name:

/home/custom_compilers (cpptest.compiler.dir.user configuration entry)
  custom_gcc
    c.psrc
    cpp.psrc
    gui.properties
  custom_iar
    c.psrc
    cpp.psrc
    gui.properties
