On June 23 we ran a live webinar, “CLion 101 and Beyond”. Phil Nash demonstrated how to install CLion and get up and running with it quickly, and gave an overview of the top productivity-boosting features you should check out first. The recording of the webinar is now available on the JetBrainsTV YouTube channel. Here are some useful timestamps so you can quickly jump to the section you’re most interested in: 01:42 – Installation & Initial setup, configuring toolchains 14:43 – Create a New Project, Build and Run 17:11 – Toolbox App 18:30 – Windows setup, configuring the toolchains

Let’s start with a big wish for everyone to stay safe! While it’s obviously sometimes hard to focus on your work these days, as there are other important things happening, we’ve tried our best to keep doing what we are good at – creating great tools for developers to increase their productivity. So we are here to introduce a fresh CLion 2020.1 release! To update to this version, you can use the Toolbox App, snap package (on Ubuntu), our website, or the patch update from the latest build of 2019.3 (2019.3.5). DOWNLOAD CLION 2020.1 Here is a quick overview of the main highlights. If you

A new CLion 2020.1 EAP build is now available for download! You can download the build (201.6251.14) from our website, via the Toolbox App or as a snap package (for Ubuntu) and install it side by side with the stable release build.

Hi, We’re launching the Early Access Program for CLion 2019.2! As usual, the EAP builds are free to use and no license is required. Get early access to the upcoming changes and enhancements and give us your feedback! We want to test it in all kinds of non-standard or unusual environments you may have set up, and collect and fix as many issues and regressions as possible. So, please try these builds and let us know what you think! Note you can install any EAP build in parallel with a stable CLion release such as 2019.1. As usual, you can download build 192.4205.36 from our site, us

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. If you plan to follow the webinar in CLion, go

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
