Hi,
Welcome the 2nd release candidate (build 181.4203.505) for CLion 2018.1! We’re getting really close to the release day and we’re looking forward to hearing your feedback. Share it here in comments or in our tracker.
Please note that to use CLion 2018.1 RC2 you need to have an active subscription (or start a 30-day evaluation period).
This build brings a few improvements to the debugger:
- When MinGW/MinGW-w64 toolchain is selected in CLion on Windows, you can now set a custom debugger and debug with it.
- A fix to a regression with the system GDB not suggested for the newly created toolchain.
- A few other GDB related fixes.
Note, that on macOS bundled GDB version is 8.0.1, while on Linux and Windows it’s v8.1. Bundled GDB is built with multiarch support in CLion 2018.1, which means no need to recompile it if you, for example, would like to remote debug from macOS to Linux.
Full release notes are available by the link.

In this RC hangs happen when running/debugging/building. The whole IDE just hangs up to 10-15 seconds then resumes to work.
Could you please collect thread dumps (they should be generated automatically when IDE freezes and located in the log directory Help | Show Logs) and share with us?
These are all thread dumps for current version. It contains not only described issue, but also switching source/header and maybe some other. Do you need more specific info? If yes, I can create issue on youtrack when the next hang happens

Did it started with the latest RC only?
Looks like it.
P.S. Somehow reply isn’t available under your comment
Hi,
I’d like to ask if you can include Lua under Clion’s other projects, like with IntelliJ IDEA (https://ibb.co/jEceqS to https://ibb.co/fmFzqS). If not possible, please enlighten me why not.
Lua is a third-party plugin; we’ll ask the author to support it.
Thank you! It would be great if you can create plain Lua projects in Clion, rather than embedding it in C/C++ code.
In two last RCs I’ve noticed dramatic increase of CPU usage. CPU utilization almost never drops below 50%, so I expect increased paycheck from my electricity supplier. Eventually CPU overheats and I got throttled by mobo. It was not like in earlier EAP builds. Do you plan to fix it by final release? Or I should probably consider buying liquid cooling for my PC?
Have you tried Invalidate Indexes and Restart? If yes, have you shared the CPU snapshot with us?
I’ve tried invalidating indexes. At first sight it helped, but when I start editing files cpu usage increased again. I’ve uploaded snapshot to https://uploads.services.jetbrains.com/ CL-181.4203.505_ripopov_28.03.2018_07.45.31.zip
Do not release it without fixing https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CPP-9361
You guys are releasing new versions and adding features without fixing the performance issues. This is not good guys, that issue has been open for more than a year and it makes clion unusealble. dont ask for thread dumps coz you already have enough.
This ticket is in development. So most likely will come to the 2018.2.
This release will fix many performance issues, including freezes on typing in many cases. Other fixes will come later in the updates and next release. We spend quite a lot of resources now on freezes fixing.
