Refactorings

Hi, Here comes a new CLion 2019.1 EAP, build 191.4738.15! You can get it from our site, using Toolbox App, or through a snap package (if you are using Ubuntu). The patches will be available shortly for those of you who are using the previous EAP build. Download CLion 2019.1 EAP Clangd: code highlighting and quick-fixes In 2018, we announced that we would work towards a complementary Clangd-based language engine and shared our big hopes for it. First, we implemented the error annotator on top of Clangd. Later came Clangd-based navigation and search (for some actions). And the first 2019

The recording of our August 17th webinar with Arne Mertz, the author of Simplify C++ blog, is now available on JetBrainsTV YouTube channel. In this webinar we've talked about general strategies and effective refactoring process, all of it using and explaining CLion’s refactoring capabilities.

The webinar about refactoring C++ code is planned for August. Arne Mertz, the author of popular Simplify C++ blog, will talk about general strategies and effective refactoring process. Register now to reserve a seat! The preliminary plan for this webinar: Finding and extracting domain concepts Naming some code smells and getting rid of them General refactoring strategies, e.g. duplicate & reduce, parallel change And all of it using and explaining CLion's refactoring capabilities You can also clone a demo project from GitHub.

This webinar will give an introduction to finding code smells and refactoring them towards cleaner code. It will show how to break down a refactoring into small steps that are easy to perform safely with the help of CLion's powerful automated refactorings aides or manually, if needed. In addition, it will touch on the most important strategies we can use to stay in control of the refactoring process. Join us Thursday, August 17th, 4pm - 5pm GMT (6pm - 7pm CEST, 9am - 10am PDT). Register now! Space is limited. About the presenter: Arne Mertz   Arne has been an enterpr

Sometimes effectiveness is how quickly you can type. For example, having code appear simultaneously in multiple places can come in handy. In this blog post, we are going to explain how CLion can help you do this with its multiple cursors feature. We’ll also identify some scenarios when it’s better to go with refactorings or code generation instead. Multiple cursors: Essentials The idea is simple - you put the caret in several different places in a file and start editing all of them at once. This works for all the languages supported in CLion, including C, C++, CMake scripting, JavaScript,

Code refactorings are used to restructure your existing code without changing its external behavior. The most popular refactoring is probably Rename, which helps you change the name of a variable, method, class, and so on. Code refactoring is an essential technique to maintain the quality of your code and make it more readable and easier to maintain and reuse. CLion offers you a set of code refactorings, which track down and correct the affected code references automatically. This means you can always be sure that your project will work correctly, even after large-scale changes. The list of
