SonarQube Scanner Error: /std:c++latest is not supported

I’m trying to set up the SonarCloud analysis in the Devops Azure pipeline for a C project which has c++ unit tests. I followed the instruction here https://sonarcloud.io/documentation/analysis/languages/cfamily/ but received an error during the SonarCloud Analysis:

##[error]ERROR: Error during SonarQube Scanner execution
##[error]java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: /std:c++latest is not supported.

I have included sonar.cpp.std=c++latest in my sonar-project.properties

Hey there.

c++latest is not supported a supported standard. When C++20 is final, you can expect it will become supported.

As noted in the documentation, the following standards are supported.

  • C89, C99, C11, C++03, C++11, C++14 and C++17 standards

I also don’t believe sonar.cpp.std is a real analysis parameter having any effect.

You’ll want to make sure your code is targeting a supported C++ standard in order to analyse your code. This isn’t done on the SonarQube side, but by changing the option in (I assume) Visual Studio.

Hi Colin,

Thank you very much for the information you provided. I have changed the supported c++ standard to one of the projects, and the analysis is working now!
