Why CodeSonar?_

CodeSonar Solves

C/C++ Support

C and C++ are vast spaces of language versions, unique characteristics of different compilers and coding standards to navigate. Developers programming in these languages need analysis on a complex and evolving set of software requirements, language standards and coding standards.

Late Error Detection

Flaws can be buried deep in complex systems; these defects cost exponentially more to fix the later they are found, but testing and manual code review techniques are not sufficient to ensure minimal rate of errors.

Maintain Legacy Code

Working with large, legacy codebases or integrating third-party software can introduce unknown risk. Making sure that this software can be maintained in production or integrated requires dedicated analysis.

Compliance

Whether it is about adhering to a safety certification requirement such as DO-178C or ISO 26262, meeting customer demands or adhering to internal quality standards, compliance is a key but expensive step in completing software deliveries.

Features_

CodeSonar Enables

CodeSonar is a static application security testing solution (SAST) that helps you find and understand security and quality defects in your code. Findings are persistent and tracked across analyses, even if the location of the code changes in a file. The result is safer, higher quality code and solutions that delight your customers.

C/C++ Software Development

CodeSonar can analyze from C89 / C++98 to the latest features of C26 and C++26. CodeSonar supports the MISRA C, MISRA C++, CERT-C, CERT-C++, AUTOSAR C++, CWE, and JSF++ coding standards. No matter which compiler you use, CodeSonar has you covered with support for clang, GCC, GNAT Pro, Microsoft, IAR, TASKING, Green Hills, Wind River, QNX, and many more.

Advanced Error Detection

Using abstract interpretation and symbolic execution, CodeSonar explores all feasible execution paths through a program to detect defects across procedure boundaries and modules. Analyses include control flow, data flow, taint, and memory modelling, uncovering subtle and serious errors before you test.

Integrations

CodeSonar integrates into the tools your team is already using, so you can get up and running with CodeSonar quickly, without changing your workflow. CodeSonar presents detected defects in your IDE or CI/CD pipeline just like a compiler warning, providing easy and actionable feedback.

Reviews

The CodeSonar hub serves as a centralized repository of your analyses. Via the hub, you can view and manage the full history of analyses across multiple projects. The hub enables reviewing of defects and offers powerful visualization tools, including visualizations of warning paths and call trees.

Supported Languages

Beyond C/C++, CodeSonar supports many popular languages, including Java, C#, Kotlin, Python, Go, Rust, JavaScript, and TypeScript. CodeSonar also supports OASIS SARIF to exchange information with other tools in the DevSecOps environment.

Capabilities_

CodeSonar Brings

Security

Security Standards

CodeSonar offers broad coverage of security vulnerabilities, including OWASP Top10, SANS/CWE 25, SEI CERT C/C++, and DISA STIG.

Taint Analysis

CodeSonar includes an integrated taint analysis engine to trace untrusted data through software systems. This capability is key to identifying injection vulnerabilities, unsafe data propagation, and other serious security flaws that cannot be easily detected by simpler tools.

Binary Analysis

Going beyond source code, CodeSonar supports analysis of compiled binaries and mixed-language environments, including cases where source is missing. CodeSonar provides invaluable analysis of legacy systems, third-party components, and proprietary libraries.

DevSecOps

CodeSonar was doing DevSecOps before it was cool. As industries and companies rapidly undergo a digital transformation, DevSecOps help companies respond by releasing solutions to market faster and with fewer defects. Static code analysis is a fundamental component of DevSecOps, and CodeSonar is here to help.

Quality

Coding Standards

CodeSonar supports MISRA-C 2012, MISRA-C 2023, MISRA-C 2025, MISRA-C++ 2023, AUTOSAR C++ 14, JSF++, and CERT.

Visualization

CodeSonar helps you understand defects by visualizing path information and providing call trees - which helps you understand how much it may cost to fix the defect.

Qualification

CodeSonar is qualified to the highest levels of safety for ISO 26262, IEC 61508 and EN 50128.

Scalability

Parallel Build

CodeSonar is aware of and supports parallel build systems like Bazel.

Parallel Analysis

CodeSonar analyzes your code in parallel and streams results into the Hub. So you can start triaging right away, even while the analysis completes.

Hub Aggregation

CodeSonar aggregates results from all analysis of all builds of your software. Defects identified are persistent and tracked across builds even if its location changes. Presented as warnings, they can be annotated, ranked, assigned, searched, and compared, as well as maintained as part of the historical record of warnings.

Rich Integrations

CodeSonar integrates into your software project management, CI/CD workflows, and your developer IDEs.
