PVS-Studio analyzer works under x86-64 systems on Windows, Linux, macOS environments, and Windows on ARM. The tool can analyze source code for cross-platform compilers designed for 32-bit, 64-bit, and embedded ARM platforms.
PVS-Studio requires at least 2 GB of RAM (4 GBs or more is recommended) for each processor core, when running analysis on a multi-core system (the more cores you have, the faster code analysis is).
The list of programming languages and compilers supported by the analyzer is available here.
Minimal required version of GCC – 4.2.
The PVS-Studio plugin can be integrated with:
For all IDEs (except IDEA and Android Studio), it is required to have the analyzer core for the language you work with (C/C++, C#, or Java) installed on your system.
Supported versions are Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2012. PVS-Studio works only under 64-bit versions of Windows.
PVS-Studio requires .NET Framework version 4.7.2 or above (it will be installed during PVS-Studio installation, if it not present).
The PVS-Studio plugin can be integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio 2022, 2019, 2017, 2015, 2013, 2012, 2010 development environments. For analysis of C and C++ code for embedded systems, the appropriate compiler toolchain should be present in the system.
PVS-Studio works under 64-bit Linux distributions with the Linux kernel versions 3.2.0 and above. For analysis of C and C++ code for Linux, cross-platform applications and embedded systems, the appropriate compiler toolchains should be installed in the system. To use the blame-notifier utility to notify the development team, .NET Runtime 8.0 should be installed.
List of supported distributions:
PVS-Studio works on Intel chips under macOS 10.13.2 High Sierra and above. For analysis of C and C++ code, the appropriate compiler toolchains should be present in the system. To use the blame-notifier utility to notify the development team, .NET Runtime 8.0 should be installed.
PVS-Studio for Java works under 64-bit Windows, Linux and macOS systems. Minimum required Java version to run the analyzer with is Java 11 (64-bit). A project being analyzed could use any Java version.
