CLion 2017.1 EAP: more C++14 support

Posted on February 1, 2017 by Anastasia Kazakova

Hi,

Last week CLion 2017.1 Early Access Program started with a new make auto intention, auto return type support, zero latency typing mode and many important improvements. This week a new EAP build (172.2822.8) is available. In case you use the previous EAP build, you should get a notification in the IDE about a patch update shortly.

Generic lambdas

Modern C++ standards support is one of our top-priority task for this year. We keep working on C++14, and while first EAP brought auto return type support, this build comes with the generic lambdas support. This includes correct type inference and corresponding code analysis checks:
generic_lambda_type

More C++14 features are coming to CLion in the next EAP builds. You can check what’s left in our webhelp.

Decltype cases

This EAP also addresses several cases with decltype when the code was not resolved correctly:

  • decltype(auto) used in trailing return (CPP-6075)
  • Constructors using decltype (CPP-8195)

Other fixes

Besides, this build includes a couple of other fixes for incorrect code analysis or refactoring:

  • Fix for the incorrect Explicit type required here warning when declaring a friend class (CPP-2637)
  • The refactoring of the ambiguous calls is disabled to avoid problems (CLion shows Function foo is ambiguously referenced warning in this case)

That’s about it. The full release notes are available here.

CLion 2016.3.1 RC: debugger fixes

Posted on December 7, 2016 by Anastasia Kazakova

Hi all,

CLion 2016.3.1 bug fix update to the recently released major CLion update is just around the corner and most likely will come next week. And today we are rolling out the 2016.3.1 Release Candidate (build 163.9166.25) with the final fixes.


Download CLion 2016.3.1 RC

In addition to UDL rename fix, support for ellipsis in Doxygen and other improvements introduced in 2016.3.1 EAP, this build addresses:

  • Problem with sysroot setting in Remote GDB Debug (the path was mistakenly double quoted and thus not working as expected).
  • As you may notice, GDB on macOS Sierra doesn’t work for now. While the patch addressing GDB issues on Sierra has been accepted in the mainline, we’ve added a proper notification to CLion, that suggests to switch to LLDB:
    gdb_lldb_sierra

Webinar Recording: Debugging C/C++ applications on Linux in CLion, from basics to reverse debug

Posted on December 7, 2016 by Anastasia Kazakova

The recording of our December 6th webinar with Phil Nash, Isa Smith and Greg Law, Debugging C/C++ applications on Linux in CLion, from basics to reverse debug, is now available on JetBrainsTV YouTube channel.

In this webinar we look at how CLion makes debugging easier out of the box – then see how Undo’s award-winning reversible debugging technology allows developers to step backwards as well as forwards inside their program to find the root cause of a failure.

Phil’s demo project: Catch framework on GitHub

The video includes the time stamps following the agenda announced:
0:44 – Fundamental CLion debugging topics
1:24 – Getting orientated with debugging in CLion
4:20 – Stepping, viewing and watching variables and expressions
8:21 – Breakpoints, conditions, dependent breakpoints and logging
14:57 – Reversible Debugging in CLion with Undo, intro from Greg Law
21:50 – Undo demo
33:35 – Advanced CLion debugging topics: attach to local process
36:16 – Advanced CLion debugging topics: remote GDB debug

Below are some questions from our webinar answered by Phil, Isa and Anastasia.

CLion 2016.3.1 EAP: fixes for UDL, CMake and Doxygen

Posted on November 30, 2016 by Anastasia Kazakova

Today we are starting an Early Access Preview for CLion 2016.3.1, a bug-fix update to the recently released major CLion update. Build 163.9166.5 is now available.

You can download the build and install side by side with the stable version of CLion. Please, note that this EAP build requires an active subscription (or you can start a 30-day evaluation period).


Download CLion 2016.3.1 EAP

Some notable improvements you can find in this build are listed below.

User-defined literals rename

CLion 2016.3 introduced user-defined literals support along with an ability to rename such literals. However, it was not possible inside namespaces (CPP-8102). Now the case is fixed and everything works as expected.

CLion 2017.1 roadmap

Posted on November 29, 2016 by Anastasia Kazakova

Hi everyone,

Just recently we’ve released CLion 2016.3. It brings dozens of C and C++ language improvements (including user-defined literals (C++11) and digit separator (C++14) support, as well as C11 keywords completion), remote debug on Windows platform, CMake changes, semantic highlighting and much more.

Special thanks

Now we’d like first to thank our evaluators! Your help in making this release stable and feature-rich is greatly appreciated. And as usual, we’d like to reward several contributors whose input was most valuable during this release cycle:

  • Alexey Klimkin (YouTrack handle: klimkin)
  • Robert Hölzl (YouTrack handle: mrh1997)
  • Roger Dubbs (YouTrack handle: rogerdubbs)
  • Anon Anonchik (YouTrack handle: aanonchik)

You’ll get a free 1-year subscription for CLion (to extend your current subscription or get a new one). A personal message will be sent to each of you guys with details on how to obtain your license. (And just in case you do not get any email from us within a week, ping us here in the comments.)

Further plans: 2017.1 and not only

The new release is not the end of the road, but just another step. It’s time to move forward.

Note: The following is a preliminary plan; we cannot guarantee that all of the features listed below will be included in CLion 2017.1.

Analyzing the feedback we’ve got on CLion 2016.3, we think we need to first concentrate on CMake workflow updates. The following changes are planned and might be (if possible) back-ported to 2016.3.x updates:

  • Exclude CMake generation directory from version control and find usages (CPP-4300).
  • Add ability to change CMake defaults (CPP-1887). The most popular case here is to have a default generation directory configured for all user projects.
  • Bring back the ability to add additional CMake configurations (CPP-3159). Right now it’s only possible to switch them in Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | CMake. However, we consider making a UI to add any number of configurations to a project. In addition, a switcher to exclude the configuration from indexing could probably be useful for configurations that are not used for code editing.
