Is it true that due the limit of a Developer Edition license, I could not see the ability to add or define a custom rule?

Thanks,

Hello @brianvkn,

Or C++ analysis does not currently offer the possibility to add custom rules (and it’s totally unrelated to the fact that it requires a developer edition of more).

Maybe you can share with us the kind of rule that you would like to add, which would have two positive effects:

  • If we think they are generic enough, maybe we could develop them ourselves
  • If we think they are not, seeing what kind of user-defined rules could be useful might help us decide to add a custom rules feature to our analyzer.

Hope this helps,
