This release includes the following enhancements:
Release date: November 26, 2025
Enhanced Unit Testing and Code Coverage
- The GoogleTest unit testing framework is now included in the C/C++test CT distribution. See Unit Testing with GoogleTest.
- The code analysis engine has been enhanced to better support modern C/C++.
MCP Server Extension for AI Agents
C/C++test CT now includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server extension that enables seamless integration between C/C++test CT and AI agents or LLM-based coding assistants (such as GitHub Copilot). This MCP Server can be used within any LLM-enabled development environment that supports MCP integration, including VS Code and others. With this extension, an AI agent can interact directly with C/C++test CT, delivering context-aware guidance, analysis, and automation.
This feature allows you to use an AI coding assistant to:
- Retrieve line coverage information for analyzed code.
- Provide guidance and instructions for applying coverage suppressions to specific code sections.
- Access information from the user guide to explain features and suggest resolutions for your issues.
For details, see Configuring the MCP Server Extension for AI Agents.
Support for Compilers
The following compilers are now supported:
| Compiler Name | Compiler Identifier |
|---|---|
Hexagon Clang Compiler v. 19 | hexagon-clang_19 |
QNX GCC 12.x (ARM64) | qccarm_12-64 |
