Hi @Ajaykumar, and thanks for sharing the problem with us.

Could you share the build-wrapper.log file with us? You should be able to find it next to the generated build-wrapper-dump.json file.

Let me know if you prefer to share it privately, and I can start a thread with you…

Best regards,
Michael

Hi again @Ajaykumar,

Unfortunately, we don’t support the GHS compiler in build-wrapper or compilation database mode, and we have an open ticket to track that here: [CPP-2239] - Jira.

Starting with SonarQube 10.6, you can try to use Automatic Configuration (AutoConfig) analysis mode, which is easy to setup and doesn’t require a configuration property or a supported compiler. For more information about it, you can also refer to this blog post.

I hope this helps,

Best regards,
Michael

Hey @Ajaykumar

If you didn’t see – last year we introduced support in SonarQube Server for a feature called C/C++ AutoConfig! Removing the question of supported compiler altogether.

This is available in SonarQube Server v10.6+, although you should really target at least v2025.1.
