Parallel use of c-family with CXX community plugin

Enviroment

I am using SonarQube 9.8.0 Developer Edition running in a Docker container based on the example docker compose
I use integrated c-family plugin to scan C++ which which is working fine!

Target

As the c-family plugin does not yet support to read Valgrind reports, I would like to utilize the CXX plugin for this
Is it possible to use both the c-family-plugin and the cxx plugin on the same source-code to combine the findings of both ?

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

The Cxx plugin is not compatible with our native C++ analysis. Both “claim” the C++ file extensions and provide the related metrics. Thus they clash fundamentally.

Your best option is to convert your report to the generic coverage report format.

And I’ll ping the C-Family Product Manager with your need. (No promises, and certainly no timeline!)

P.S. Make sure you upgrade to SonarQube v9.9 LTS soon, not only to benefit from our Best LTS Ever™, but because soon we will systematically ask users to upgrade when they ask questions about earlier versions of SonarQube, which are now considered unsupported.
