C++ Agent

What is the C++ Agent?

The SeaLights C++ Agent provides code coverage and test intelligence for C++ applications and services. It integrates directly into your C++ build process to collect comprehensive coverage data during testing and deployment.

When/why to use this agent

Use the C++ Agent when working with C++ applications or C++ test frameworks. You need to match the agent to the language of your Application Under Test or test runner:

• C++ applications → Use C++ Agent in Coverage Listener Mode

• C++ test frameworks → Use C++ Agent in Test Runner Mode

Supported environments/frameworks

OS:

• Ubuntu 20.04 and newer

• Debian 11 and newer

• Compatible Linux distributions

Architectures:

• x64 (64 bit Intel/AMD)

• x86 (32 bit Intel/AMD)

• ARM64

• ARMv7 (32 bit ARM)

Compilers:

• GCC/G++ - versions 9.4 through 13.3

Test Frameworks:

Standard Library Dependencies

The SeaLights C++ Agent depends on specific versions of standard runtime libraries. Ensure your system provides the following minimum versions:

Architecture	Library	Minimum Version
x64	GLIBCXX	v3.4.28
x64	GLIBC	v2.31
ARMv7	GLIBCXX	v3.4.29
ARMv7	GLIBC	v2.34

The agent is also compatible with environments using MUSL.

Ensure that the runtime libraries available on your system meet or exceed these versions. Older versions may cause the tracer library to fail to load.
