In this release, we've focused on providing support for new compilers and IDEs, as well as extending our support for coding standards, including MISRA 2008.

Support for New Compilers

  • Microsoft Visual C++ 14.1x/ 2017
  • WindRiver GCC 4.8.x (Static Analysis only)
  • IAR Compiler for ARM 8.11.x

Extended Support for IDEs

  • Support for Eclipse 4.7 
  • Support for Visual Studio 2017

Integration with Visual Studio 2017 is now available for C/C++test DTP Engine and its Parasoft DTP Plugin for Visual Studio. Support for Visual Studio 2017 in C/C++test Desktop is coming in release 10.3.4.

Enhanced Workflow for Test Configurations on Desktop

We've made it easier for you to interact with test configurations when working with C/C++test on your desktop. Now you can easily duplicate and customize an existing test configuration on DTP, as well as run a test configuration right from your IDE Preference page; see Creating Custom Test Configurations and Setting the Active Test Configuration for details.

Enhancements to Static Analysis

In this release, we've added new static analysis rules to cover the MISRA C++ 2008; see New Code Analysis Rules. The severity levels for MISRA C++ 2008 rules have been updated:

  • Required → Severity 2
  • Advisory → Severity 4
  • Document → Severity 5

Flow Analysis has been extended with support for C++11 Thread API (for BD-TRS rules) and new configuration options that allow you to:

  • disable terminators / functions with the noreturn attribute
  • parameterize the BD-PB-VOVR rule with the "Report when there is at least one path where the value of the variable is not used" option; see the rule documentation for details.
  • disable reporting violations whose paths pass via inline assembly code
  • enable or disable all tainted data sources in the rule parameters

The RuleWizard Module has been extended with the following nodes and properties:

  • IsFinal - returns true if function or class was declared with 'final' or 'sealed' specifier
  • IsExplicitFinal - returns true if function or class was declared with 'final' specifier
  • IsSealed - returns true if function or class was declared with 'sealed' specifier

See RuleWizard 10.3.3 User's Guide for more details.
