One of the common questions we get is why there is no Docker integration in CLion? In fact CLion works very nicely with Docker! There might not (yet) be a specific, “use Docker”, button - but setting it up yourself is actually quite easy and straightforward - even if you’re a Docker newbie! Read on if you prefer written instructions, or watch this video with the same content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h69XLiMtCT8 Why use Docker?

In July of this year, in the German city of Cologne, the ISO WG21 committee approved the full draft of C++20. After Belfast, in November, we now have just one more meeting (in Prague) to deal with national body comments and get their approval. That means that, barring any catastrophes, C++20 will become the current standard sometime after February of next year. So C++20 is still in the future, but we now have a very good idea of everything that will be in it. Large sections of it have already been implemented in several compilers. GCC and Clang are leading the pack here (EDG is only a front

One of our most frequent feature requests for CLion is the ability to use project or build systems other than CMake. There are many good reasons for needing to use something different - but if you could only pick one we still feel CMake is the best choice. That’s not because we think it is perfect (although it’s worth noting that some of the issues that people have with it may be addressed by focusing on “Modern CMake”). Instead it’s because CMake is in very widespread use - especially in the open-source world, where it has become the de-facto standard. CMake also has the advantage that it

ReSharper C++ joined the ReSharper fold back in 2015 to bring the power of ReSharper to the world of C++ - and has been getting better ever since! For most people this has rounded out the ReSharper story within Visual Studio. However an odd gap remains. Odd because the worlds of C++ and C# are bridged by the interop language, C++/CLI, yet this has remained unsupported by the ReSharper family. Until now, that is! From 2018.2 (available now in the EAP) ReSharper C++ has initial support for C++/CLI. There are some limitations, so read on to find out more. Support is enabled by default, but

CLion is a cross-platform IDE for C++ development (which happens to have a built in test runner). Catch is a cross-platform test framework for C++. I'm the original author of Catch and am now working at JetBrains so this seems to be an ideal match! As of the 2017.1 release I'm pleased to say that CLion fully supports Catch as a first class test framework. That means you can create Catch test runner configurations that let you specify test names (with wildcards) or tags, see the results of your test runs, hierarchically, in the test runner window, and can re-run failing tests, or the test
