SonarQube: 8.3 SonarScanner: 4.3 Installed OS: Windows Language: C++ I am new to SonarQube and I have successfully installed and run the sample C++ project. I am using different C++ compilers to build the different projects. I would need to analyze all the projects using SonarQube. Kindly answe…

Hi @arumugamcv , [image] arumugamcv: How to choose different C++ compilers to do the code analysis (GCC, VS, IAR and Xilinx)? You don’t need to choose a particular compiler; just use the compiler you would normally use to build your code, add the build wrapper to your build and analyze using …

Thanks Cameron for your detailed reply. Most of my doubts got clarified. As per your documentation, SonarQube does not support Xilinx C++ Compiler. Am I right? As you have mentioned, I can keep running SonarQube server on Windows machine and continue scanning on Linux machine by pointing scanner t…

Hi @arumugamcv , Xilinx is not officially supported, but I believe Xilinx is based on GCC (?) so you could try compiling your code with GCC, which we do support, or even experiment with the Xilinx compiler to see if it’s sufficiently GCC-like that the build wrapper picks up the data it needs. No gua…

Thanks @Colin for the reminder, is AutoConfig also working for mixed C#/C++ solutions? Or do we still need to run the build-wrapper as described here for the mix of programming languages?

@milbrandt Yes, AutoConfig works here as well! As long as your files are indexed by the scanner, AutoConfig will kick in if no compilation database is provided. And the docs could probably be refreshed to reflect that. I’ll flag that for attention.

Worked without build wrapper, I had also to remove from the yaml pipeline the reference sonar.cfamily.compile-commands=$(SonarOutDir)/compile_commands.json to the compile database.

SonarQube Server / Community Build

Hey @arumugamcv

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.
