Following up on "Part 1: Suspended", of our Advanced Debugger series, Part 2 focuses on the dynamic part of working with breakpoints, watchpoints and setting the execution point. Because this an advanced series, we look beyond simply setting and removing breakpoints, and take a look at the different types of breakpoints we support, as well as all the options along with them. In many case

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

The new CLion 2021.1 EAP build (211.6432.9) is now available. You can get it from our website, via the Toolbox App, or as a snap package (if you are using Ubuntu). Note that if you are on macOS, there is a separate build for Apple Silicon (M1 chip). DOWNLOAD CLION 2021.1 EAP More MISRA C and C++ checks We continue our work on extending the list of supported checks. You can find the current list of

This version is focused on the debugging experience and on the flexibility of the unit testing integration. Embedded developers will find support for the first collection of MISRA checks. CLion 2020.3 also introduces a variety of IDE functions tuned specifically for working with Qt code.

CLion 2020.3 has reached Beta! Build 203.5981.40 is available from our website, via the Toolbox App, or as a snap package (for Ubuntu). DOWNLOAD CLION 2020.3 EAP The CLion 2020.3 EAP has already introduced a couple of performance-enhancing features to the debugger: A new Set Execution Point action Ability to debug Core Dumps And there’s even more in the Beta! Ability to run and debug with

In the previous 2020.3 EAP build we were focused on giving run/debug configurations and CMake profiles more flexibility in CLion, and at the same time we introduced a bundled tool for collaborative development and pair programming. In this EAP update we are adding one of the most long-awaited features in debugger – postmortem debug with a core file! Build 203.5600.25 is available from our website,

An important part of writing code is debugging. Despite the name this is not limited to just finding bugs in our code, but can help us to understand what the code is actually doing at runtime - often in a specific environment. While it's possible to do this to some extent using, so-called, "printf-debugging" (inserting code to write out messages and values to the console or a log file),

CLion comes with powerful debugger integration, giving you access to backend debuggers such as GDB and LLDB via a uniform UI. The IDE helps you debug efficiently with its built-in variables view, a variety of stepping and breakpoints options, evaluation of expressions, and memory and assembler views. With CLion 2020.3 EAP, we’ve added a new powerful option to control the execution flow during debu

There are many useful changes and improvements planned for CLion 2020.3, and today we are ready to share some of them with you. CLion officially starts the 2020.3 Early Access Program today! For those who just joined us, EAP builds are free and valid for 1 month, so you don’t need an active subscription to try them out. However, the quality of EAP builds is usually lower than that of releases. If

It’s been a while since we last dedicated a whole blog entry to IntelliJ Rust. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at how the plugin cooperates with CLion when it comes to debugging your Rust applications. We’ll start by diving right into a debug session to get a grounding in the basics, and then we’ll explore the debugger settings and additional options in detail. Before you begin How

CLion 2019.2, the second big update this year, is here now! It brings improvements for Embedded Developers and adds more debugging abilities – including an experimental debugger for the Microsoft Visual C++ toolchain. That’s not all, there’s a fully-reworked Unused Includes check, enhancements in the editor, improved performance, and more. To update to this version use the Toolbox App, snap

Hi, A new CLion 2019.2 EAP (build 192.5438.15) is now available. Download the full build from our site, install it via the Toolbox App, or use a snap package if you are using Ubuntu. A patch-update for the previous EAP build will be available shortly. The main highlights: Experimental feature: Debugger for the Microsoft Visual C++ toolchain The 'unused includes' check is back Memory
