Unable to load C++ custom rules on Sonar lint

SonarQube for IDE Visual Studio
2

Hi,

SonarLint doesn’t load third-party extensions like sonar-cxx as stated in the FAQ post:

  1. Third-party analyzers are not executed in SonarLint
    Some issues may be reported in SonarQube by a plugin leveraging a third-party analyzer (PMD, Checkstyle, ESLint, PyLint, …). SonarLint will only run rules from SonarSource analyzers including custom rules extending SonarSource analyzers . Third-party analyzers usually have their own IDE integration, so we have no plan to run them in SonarLint.

As far as I know, the official C/C++/Objective-C plugin bundled in SonarQube Enterprise Edition isn’t extensible, so it’s impossible to implement “custom rules extending SonarSource analyzers” for C++ that would be executed by SonarLint.
