CLion has just been given a massive update from 2020.2, with Makefile project support, more C++20 features supported, new code analysis checks, Doctest framework integration, and much more. We have even more planned for the next release. Let’s take a look at what we have in store for the fall. Special thanks Before we move on to our plans for 2020.3, let’s follow our tradition of thanking everyone who has helped us identify various issues, usability glitches, and missing features during the Early Access Program. Thank you all! Without your contributions we would have never been able to have su

CLion 2020.2 covers a wider variety of C and C++ projects by introducing a top-voted feature – Makefiles projects support, and makes modern C++ coding easier.

DOWNLOAD CLION 2020.2 BETA CMake Precompiled Headers CLion has supported precompiled headers for a while, but this didn’t cover all the cases. In this EAP build, we’re adding support for the MSVC Force Include option (CPP-21063) and for CMake 3.16 PCH. In the latter case, code navigation and highlighting for symbols from the precompiled headers added via the PRECOMPILE_HEADERS and/or INTE

To simplify the licensing for our .NET and Visual Studio tools, we’ve reduced it to just three simple options: ReSharper subscription, Rider subscription, dotUltimate subscription. The dotUltimate license will cover all paid .NET & Visual Studio tools from JetBrains (ReSharper, ReSharper C++, Rider, dotTrace, dotMemory, and dotCover). We also decreased the price of this all-in-one .NET pack. Holders of active ReSharper Ultimate and ReSharper Ultimate+Rider licenses will be automatically transferred to the new dotUltimate, with all their continuity discounts preserved. Besides, we covered ReSharper and ReSharper C++ with one license.

Last week the CLion 2020.2 EAP introduced the super-useful dangling pointer analysis. Have you had a chance to try it out yet? Meanwhile, we’ve been moving forward with CLion 2020.2!

Getting started with Rider for Unreal Engine is quick and easy. This video will take you through the initial steps, getting the app installed once you’ve registered and installed, and setting Rider as the default source code editor for Unreal. You’ll be introduced to the two main keyboard shortcuts that are the entry points to Rider’s advanced feature set, and see what Unreal plugins are required to get the most out of Rider, such as integrating Rider with Unreal Blueprints.

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
