Code completion

In the previous EAP build, completion that’s based only on Clangd became the default. This behavior is controlled by the Code Completion setting in Settings/Preferences | Languages & Frameworks | C/C++ | Clangd.

To improve your user experience with completion, we’re introducing a few fixes in this Beta:

• Completion suggestions in the context of a template parameter list are now more accurate (the typedef keyword is no longer on top, CPP-19085).
• Completion in type aliases is more accurate as well (thanks to removing constructors from the using context, CPP-19171).
• CLion can now complete folders that are symlinks.
• Completion for int has been improved (CPP-19520).

Other fixes

• For compilation database projects, when CLion collects compiler information it now filters out some flags that do not affect the information requested. -MD and -MMD flags are good examples as they generate dependency files and might clutter the project directories with unnecessary compiler-file*.d.
• For Python, the notification ‘Configure Python interpreter’ will now open a settings window (CPP-19536).

More fixes from the IntelliJ Platform have also made their way into this Beta. The full release notes are available here.
