Back in October of last year I wrote "CLion Debugging – Part 1: Fundamentals", to introduce the everyday debugging features in CLion. It was "Part 1", because the promise was that I would follow up with a "Part 2", covering more advanced features. One thing you should never do is call something "Part 1" before you've written later parts! Part 2 has been a lo

How do embedded developers set up everything they need to do programming? A typical wired setup includes a device that stays on the developer’s table, and a ribbon cable that connects it to a debug probe, which in turn is connected to the developer's computer by a USB cable. The computer is running probe-specific software and an IDE. In many cases, this setup works fine. But embedded devices work

During the recent Q&A session on Reddit, we got a surprising number of questions about our plans for Meson support. Today we are going to show you how you can already use Meson-based projects in CLion. For this we will use compilation database support in CLion. Meson is a relatively new build system that strives to be fast yet simple to use. It converts build scripts written in a Python-like l

In the first post of this series, we built a simple prototype project using an Arduino board. This second stage involves constructing a full-featured device that can display the current temperature and pressure with an atmospheric pressure chart, and can run off a single battery for several weeks. The source code is available on GitHub, and readers can follow along with the text in this post commi

In May 2020 we ran an exciting CLion Ask Me Anything session. 2 hours, 9 speakers, 7 demos, and 140+ questions that were really inspiring and motivating for the team and hopefully useful for the attendees! This time we’d like to try another format. We invite you to join our first-ever AMA session on Reddit, in r/cpp. This Q&A session will focus on the recent 2020.3 release, our overall plans f
