ReSharper C++ 2021.1 brings support for several new C++17 and C++20 language features, adds new inspections, and improves Unreal Engine support. You can now configure ReSharper C++ to match your code style even more closely with a new set of syntax style settings.

ReSharper C++ 2021.1 adds another powerful tool to your code style toolbox – a new collection of syntax style settings.

A new EAP build for ReSharper C++ 2021.1 is here! Check out the details about new Code Analysis features and updates to Unreal Engine support.

We've introduced support for several new C++ features from the latest standards: class types in non-type template parameters, C++20 class template argument deduction rules, and noexcept as a part of the function type.

Let's take a look at what we are planning to do next to improve your development experience! Our main goals for the first major release of the year will remain the same: Unreal Engine, C++20, and performance.

ReSharper C++ 2020.3 is here with the UnrealHeaderTool integration, new C++20 features, navigation between matching preprocessor directives, fuzzy text search, Push-to-Hint mode for inlay hints, and many other enhancements.

News

Working with Unreal Engine projects means working with the Unreal reflection system and the UnrealHeaderTool. Macros are used to mark types and type members as visible to Blueprints, replicated across servers, set metadata and more. ReSharper C++ (and soon the Rider for Unreal Engine preview) understands the Unreal macros, providing quick doc tooltips and completion. But mistakes in these macros a

The new ReSharper C++ EAP build includes import completion for incomplete classes, important updates to HLSL support, and allows you to navigate between preprocessor directives.

UnrealHeaderTool has been integrated into the Resharper C++ analysis and can run on an open file, helping you catch issues earlier and avoid problems down the road.

In this EAP build, we've introduced several navigation improvements, supported the C++20 conformance changes in Visual Studio 16.8, and updated our support for Catch2 parameterized tests.

Tips & Tricks

ReSharper C++ 2020.3 brings full support for C++20’s changes to comparison semantics. In this post, we’ll briefly go over the language updates to comparisons in C++20 and take a look at how ReSharper C++ can help you use the new language features.

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 navig

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

Programmers often spend more time reading code than writing it. Your own program logic is difficult to figure out at times, not to mention trying to understand someone else's code! Modern C++ makes this even more complicated. Try to guess the types in this code.
