On June 23 we ran a live webinar, “CLion 101 and Beyond”. Phil Nash demonstrated how to install CLion and get up and running with it quickly, and gave an overview of the top productivity-boosting features you should check out first. The recording of the webinar is now available on the JetBrainsTV YouTube channel. Here are some useful timestamps so you can quickly jump to the section you’re most interested in: 01:42 – Installation & Initial setup, configuring toolchains 14:43 – Create a New Project, Build and Run 17:11 – Toolbox App 18:30 – Windows setup, configuring the toolchains

The 2020.2 Early Access Program has just started, but we’ve already announced so much cool stuff – makefile project support, doctest, updates to the PlatformIO plugin, dozens of enhancements in the debugger for the Microsoft Visual C++ toolchain, and more. If you’ve had a chance to try any of these, let us know your impressions! But of course we are not stopping there. This week brings another EAP build with useful improvements in these areas: Code coverage Support for Git installed in WSL2 Inspection Widget and Problems View Build 202.5792.50 is available from our website, via th

JetBrains has carried out its Developer Ecosystem survey for the fourth year running. It’s definitely now more than just a snapshot of a technological landscape – it’s a timeline that illustrates the evolution of the landscape. With a core set of questions that repeat yearly, it gives us not only a useful look at the current state of the ecosystem but also a more general and highly valuable overview of key trends in the community. Each year we hone our questions to reduce uncertainties and ambiguities, and we also find new ways to validate the data. For the C and C++ parts, we now validat

Hi, Last week we launched CLion 2020.2 EAP. The first EAP build included dozens of fixes across several areas, including performance improvements, unit testing tuning, VS toolchain debugger enhancements, an update in the PlatformIO plugin, and fully manageable GitHub Pull Requests right in the IDE. The second 2020.2 EAP build is now ready, and we’re sure you’re going to like it! Build 202.5428.21 is available from our website, via the Toolbox App, or as a snap package (if you are using Ubuntu).

CLion 2020.2 EAP2 brings long-awaited Makefile project support. While it’s still in its early stages with various limitations and known issues, it’s good enough to cope with a long list of projects already. Do you have a Makefile project? Grab the free EAP build and give it a try now. Share your feedback with us! In this blog post we’ll answer: How does it work under the hood? How to start with your Makefile project in CLion? What can I do if something goes wrong and my project fails to load correctly? What are the known issues and limitations? (more…)

In the C++ ecosystem there is more than one unit testing framework. Google Test is the one used the most. Boost.Test is obviously gaining in popularity among the Boost community. Catch(2) is relatively new but also growing impressively. Meanwhile, several years ago at CppCon there was an inspiring presentation by Viktor Kirilov of yet another framework called doctest. Viktor told our audience about it in the guest blog post in ReSharper C++ blog, once the support was added there. In a nutshell, doctest is a fast single-header framework, with self-registering tests. It’s safe: uses thread-sa

We’re ready to launch the CLion 2020.2 Early Access Program! We still have an interesting path ahead of us, but we are now ready to show you some of the valuable improvements we’ve made and to get your feedback. So please join us for this EAP – we’d love to welcome you aboard! As usual, the EAP builds are free to use and no license is required. The main goal is to test the tools in all kinds of non-standard and unusual environments you may have set up, so we can make sure we haven’t missed anything. If you come across any bugs or peculiar behavior, please report them to our issue tracker
