Creating rulesets for visual studio static analysis

93062923 0

(visual studio 2019) Hi i saw that we can edit the rules that the debugger works on by editing the settings.json file. I wanted to know that how should i approach on creating my own rules that may work on the debugger, and on top of that, if it were possible to add rules from this github repository https://github.com/SonarOpenCommunity/sonar-cxx.

Hello @93062923,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

You may need to refer to this document: To create a rule set in a text editor and this document: Ruleset schema. Write your own rule, create the ruleset, and then add to use it in your project, or modify and use an existing rule set.

If it were possible to add rules from this github repository.

Looks it is already an extension. Could you firstly confirm if it uses Microsoft Native Recommended Rules or it provides more customized supported rules?

I saw that we can edit the rules that the debugger works on by editing the settings.json file.

Could you share us some corresponding links or documents/guides to check further?
