Support for 32-bit Platforms (deprecated)
Support for 32-bit platforms is deprecated and will be removed in one of the future releases. For details about the deprecation policy, contact your Parasoft representative.
Windows 32-bit (deprecated)
Windows 7, Windows 10
4GB memory minimum2
2GHz or faster processor (x86-compatible), multi-CPU configuration recommended
- Supported C / C++ compiler
Linux 32-bit (deprecated)
- Linux with glibc 2.12 (or newer)

2 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 [INSTALL_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 4.2 - 4.15 (2020-03)
Visual Studio 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019
- Visual Studio Code1
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 your connecting to supports your C/C++test version. For example, upgrading C/C++test to version 2020.2 requires upgrading DTP to version 2020.2.
