ReSharper C++ 2020.2 includes lots of performance improvements and bug fixes, updates to C++/CLI and Unreal Engine support, a new set of code inspections with quick-fixes, and more.

The new EAP build for ReSharper C++ 2020.2 is here! There hasn’t been much news from us for the last few builds, but don't worry – we are working hard on a quality-targeted release that fixes bugs and performance issues, so we’ve had less time for introducing new features. But this week we've collected a variety of new things to share with you: "Use safe_cast" quick-fix for C++/CLI. Error highlighting for misspelled preprocessor directives. An import completion option adding a forward class declaration. Automatic cleanup on save, autosave after cleanup, and cleanup for recent files. As usual,

The second of our Early Access Program builds for ReSharper C++ 2020.2 is now available! In this post, we'll go through updates to Unreal Engine support, improved search and navigation features, and more. Read on for details: Unreal Engine: smarter auto-include and header completion, better alignment with UE guidelines, and common acronyms in the built-in dictionary. Navigation and Search: an option to hide preprocessor directives in File Structure, inheritance searches for CLR entities in C++/CLI, and Go to declaration for unresolved identifiers. Modernize your C++ code: an inspect

Today we are launching the Early Access Program (EAP) for ReSharper C++ 2020.2, which brings many improvements for Unreal Engine and C++/CLI support, performance fixes, and more. This release cycle is aimed at fixing bugs, but it's hard to resist adding some new treats. So, in the first EAP build, you'll find a combination of polished functionality and new features! The main highlights of this build are: Unreal Engine: Unreal Engine project model support, new inspections, improved Find Usages and code generation, UE code style. C++/CLI: inspections for gcnew and final, searching for

Have you had a chance to check out our latest 2020.1 release? We certainly hope you like it, and we already have ideas about how to make ReSharper C++ even better. Let's go ahead and take a look at what we are planning to do next to improve your development experience! This time around, we want to polish functionality that has already been introduced and make a quality-targeted release. Of course, we do have plans to implement more features for the upcoming C++20, but our top priorities are fixing bugs and improving performance. Here are some details about what you can expect in ReSharpe

We are happy to introduce our first major release of the year! Since the start of the EAP, we've published a series of blog posts to share news about improvements and new features, step by step. Now it's time to recap and see what we’ve put together for you in this release! ReSharper C++ 2020.1 tracks the latest C++20 updates, improves coding assistance and navigation, and helps you be more productive with Unreal Engine 4 and HLSL. Read on for more details about these and other changes in v2020.1: C++20 support Unreal Engine 4 HLSL support Code analysis and quick-fixes Coding

ReSharper C++ 2020.1 has introduced initial support for the HLSL language used in shader files. ReSharper will recognise .hlsl and .hlsli files, and if you're working with an Unreal Engine project, it will also handle .usf and .ush files. This video shows the main features ReSharper has in this first release, such as syntax highlighting, highlighting for syntax errors as you type, as well as navigation within a file, code completion, parameter info and more. Please remember that this is a preview release of HLSL support. There are still some known issues, especially with regard to refactori

When you hear the name ReSharper, you likely think about a tool for C# first. And indeed, for more than 10 years ReSharper was oriented toward .NET development, from C# to VB.NET and others. But 5 years ago, we announced ReSharper for C++, an extension to Visual Studio for C++ developers. While we can’t say that it changed the world completely, it definitely changed the way we and many other developers think about ReSharper, as well as the way C++ developers work in Visual Studio. Let’s talk to the team about the challenges they faced, the choices they made, and their vision for the future.

This EAP build takes us within one step of the first major release of the year! It primarily includes bug fixes but also introduces a new refactoring and the Document editor action. Let’s take a closer look at these new features: Convert to Scoped Enum “Document” editor action As usual, you can download the new EAP build from our website or through the Toolbox App. DOWNLOAD RESHARPER C++ 2020.1 EAP (more…)

The 2020.1 release is almost here, so in the remaining EAP builds we are mostly focusing on fixing bugs and polishing the newly added features. However, this build still has some improvements that we’d like to share with you. In this EAP build, the bundled Clang-Tidy binary has been updated to Clang 10. Additionally, the icons in the File Structure window have become more descriptive, and Go to Declaration now works for identifiers inside comments.

Unreal Engine uses macros to mark types and type members as available to the reflection system, allowing these structs, classes and enums to be used in Blueprints, as well as be listed and editable in the Unreal Editor. These macros don't always introduce new code, so it's not possible to provide full support simply based on existing language features. ReSharper C++ has specific support for Unreal's reflection macros. It recognises them without waiting for the whole project to be parsed, and understands where they should be used, how, and with what parameters. Check out the video to see how Re

With this EAP build, the well-known Rearrange code and Complete Statement features from ReSharper for .NET have finally come to ReSharper C++! Read on for details about these features, as well as other highlights of this build: Rearrange code: an easy way to move your code. Complete Statement: one shortcut instead of many routine actions. Completion in macro definitions: code completion now works in macros. UE4 naming conventions: rules for console variables and log categories.
