SonarQube Developer Edition and C++

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

Hi,

I saw that C++ scans are included when someone purchases the SonarQube Developer Edition (https://www.sonarqube.org/trial-request/developer-edition/). Is that correct? And so, there is no need to purchase another license for a C++ plugin?

Hi @kr.st.je

C++ analysis is indeed built-in in our Developer Edition and above.
You’ll see more information here: https://www.sonarqube.org/features/multi-languages/cpp/
If you want to try the Developer Edition, you can go there and fill in the trial form/request a trial license key.

Have a nice day
Carine

@Carine_Bayon Thank you for your answer and clarification. Just as a note: the link you gave me (https://www.sonarqube.org/features/multi-languages/cpp/) doesn’t mention that C/C++ scans are included in Developer Edition or above. In my opinion, this information is missing. Would be good if this could be added somewhere.

Hi @kr.st.je,
thanks for the feedback. In fact, the info is written in the Download page here and in the Plans&Pricing description here.
Enjoy your evaluation!

Hello,
We’re considering upgrading from Community to Developer Edition. For now we’re using the Community plugin for C++. If we upgrade, can we get rid of it and only count on the sonar built in rules? Or are they complimentary?
Thanks for the help,
David
