In this release, we've focused on enhancing code analysis capabilities and extending support for environments.
Extended Support for Compilers
- Support for Green Hills Software Compiler for PPC 2017.1.x
Extended Support for Platforms
- Support for Windows Server 2016
Extended Support for IDEs
- Support for Visual Studio 2017
Note: C++test requires specific Visual Studio Workloads to be installed with Visual Studio 2017; see IDE Support for details.
Enhanced Flow Analysis
You can now configure Flow Analysis to analyze a list of functions and files from outside the scope (see Flow Analysis for details).
New Code Analysis Rules
| Rule ID | Header |
