Visual Studio / CL (Windows)

Detect dependencies from Visual Studio / CL builds

The experimental support for Visual Studio C/C++ builds can be enabled using the --scan-gcc flag.

In this configuration the scanner will require the presence of source level dependency files (".cpp.json" files). The cl compiler accepts the /sourceDependencies flag to generate those files, that are then ingested and analysed by the Meterian client in order to detect all the dependencies used in the project.

Once you have the files in place, you can simply launch Meterian with the additional --scan-gcc flag in order for it to identify all system and external libraries.

The support is at the moment limited to Windows based builds.
