Summary

SonarCloud's automatic analysis for C++ simplifies the process of code analysis by eliminating the need for manual effort, allowing users to analyze their code with just one click. This feature is particularly important for C++, a language that can benefit from static analysis due to its complexity and flexibility. Sonar believes that all developers should use static analysis tools, but the current state of C++ tooling makes it difficult to get properly working. SonarCloud's solution addresses this issue by providing an automatic analysis experience without requiring users to understand how their project is built or configure the analysis manually. This feature is available for free on SonarCloud for public projects and supports a wide range of languages, including Java, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and C#.
