The C++ ecosystem is evolving, and so too is our cross-platform C/C++ IDE. CLion 2021.2 can help you by protecting your code from typical C++ memory safety issues, simplifying your build configurations, and making debugging easier and more effective.

Today we have Greg Law with us. In this guest blog post, Greg will share a few top tips for debugging C++ code. Greg (@gregthelaw) is the co-founder and CEO at Undo. He is a programmer at heart, but likes to keep one foot in the software world and one in the business world. Greg finds it particularly rewarding to turn innovative software technology into real business development. Greg has over 20 years of experience in both academia and innovative startup software companies. Brian Kernighan famously said, “Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a

The CLion 2021.2 Early Access Program was recently launched. Did you manage to try out the new Load CMake Presets feature? Or did you play with Cling, an interactive C++ interpreter now supported in CLion? We really hope you managed to catch a few dangling pointers or references with the help of recently introduced Lifetimes analysis. Today we are happy to announce the second EAP build (212.3724.2), which is now available from our website, via the Toolbox App, or as a snap package (if you are using Ubuntu).

This if the third and final part of our Advanced Debugger series. If you haven't seen them, do catch: "Part 1: Suspended" and "Part 2: Dynamic" As well as the earlier, "Debugging Fundamentals" video. In this video we start by looking a direct access to the GDB or LLDB terminal, as well as running commands on start-up using .gdbinit or .lldbinit, then look at attaching to external processes and debugging on remote machines. We also look at debugging core dumps and running the debugger with root privileges. We hope you have enjoyed this series and have learnt some ways to make your
