In this post, we’ll take a look at the updates that IntelliJ Rust has received over the 2020.1 release cycle. But before we start, we have an exciting announcement that we would like to share. It is now possible to debug your Rust code in IDEs other than CLion! Here are a few more details: It’s available in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, AppCode, and RubyMine starting with version 2020.1. It works with LLDB on macOS and Linux. It requires the nativeDebug plugin to work in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. It requires you to download the debugger binaries, which are not bundled. The IDEs will promp

While CLion and all our other JetBrains IDEs were making the transition from version 2019.2 to version 2019.3, the IntelliJ Rust team has been busy making important updates to the plugin. In this post, we would like to give a summary of all the features that have been added over the last few months. Cfg attributes support Include! macro support New features of the experimental macro expansion engine Other improvements (more…)

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 to start debugging Switching debuggers and renderers Debugging a Cargo Command configuration More debug features (more…)

In this series of short blog posts, we are going to take a closer look at the key Rust-related features available in JetBrains IDEs through our corresponding plugin. However, before we do that, let me briefly remind you about the current state of the Rust plugin: It is available in all our IntelliJ-based IDEs. It relies on the Cargo build system, and CLion is no exception here. The debugging feature for Rust code is currently only available in CLion. While macros are essential for Rustaceans, they can be finicky from time to time. Fortunately, there are tools around to help ease

Hi, CLion 2018.2 was released just recently. Along with the release, the Rust plugin has had an update! In this blog post, we’d like to highlight some of the main improvements in the plugin. However, before we do that, let me briefly remind you about the current state of the Rust plugin: It’s available in all our IntelliJ-based IDEs. It relies on the Cargo build system, and CLion is no exception here! The debugging feature for Rust code is currently only available in CLion. Here we listed earlier the features in the Rust plugin.

Clang-Tidy with options and .clang-tidy config support. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

While CLion’s main focus is on C and C++, it also provides extensive support for other languages that supplement the C/C++ ecosystem: Python (interesting fact: according to feature usage statistics, Python is used in 30% of projects opened in CLion!) JavaScript, HTML, and other web technologies Objective-C / Objective-C++ as supported for the first time in CLion 2018.1 EAP Support for these languages is included in CLion by default, along with C and C++. We also offer multiple plugins that expand CLion’s focus and make it a viable IDE for native development. We’ve recently anno
