Let’s take a look at the highlights!

• CLion index now works more accurately with symlinks (CPP-17333).
• A fix for the Cannot run program error happening on CMake target launch from CLion (CPP-19236).
• CUDA support was added earlier in this 2020.1 EAP, and in this build it’s got several improvements:
  • The issue with the alpaka project, when CLion fails to collect compiler info, and so red code is present, was finally fixed.
  • Generate options are now available in CUDA files.
  • A false positive on the OpenCV code was fixed (CPP-18058).
  • CLion now correctly parses the compile_commands.json file generated for CUDA projects (CPP-18926).
• Changing the return type in a trailing return type function no longer breaks the code (CPP-17529).
• Toolchains:
  • Recently we’ve added clang-cl support on Windows. Now CLion takes bitness (x64 vs x86_64) into account, so that the selected clang-cl compiler matches the Visual Studio toolchain selected.
• Formatter:
  • #pragma region and #pragma endregion can be used in CLion for code folding:
    
  • In using and namespace, the equal sign is getting surrounding spaces if configured in settings.
  • CLion now doesn’t apply an incorrect indentation to the lines after the macro definition (CPP-18574).
• We are currently unifying all remote configurations to use the common SSH Configurations UI:
  

This affects all IntelliJ-based IDEs, and CLion is no exception. Wherever a new SSH configuration originated from (be it remote toolchains settings or Remote GDB server configurations), it’s now located in Settings/Preferences | Tools | SSH Configurations.

Besides, check out the update on the Commit tool window & Commit dialog.

Additionally, we recently shared an update on Makefile projects support in CLion. Check out how you can help us test our prototype on a variety of projects, or request a private build from us to give it a try on your own!
