News Releases CLion 2022.1 is now available! It is focused on quality improvements and enhancements for existing features and workflows like remote development, Docker, CMake Presets integration, and more. It also brings a brand-new CMake Profiling ability that helps you visually inspect why your CMake project may be taking a long time to reload. Code analysis and in-editor type and parameter hints have been tuned to work better and more accurately with modern C++. To update to the new version, you can use the Toolbox App or a snap package (on Ubuntu), download the installer from our website, or apply the patch update to upgrade from version 2021.3. DOWNLOAD CLION 2022.1 Enhanced in-editor experience For this release we’ve polished many CLion features that make your coding experience more comfortable, easy, and productive. We focused on their flexibility and accuracy regarding the modern C++ language. Inlay hints Parameter and type hints help you read and maintain your existing codebases with ease. The extra information is shown right in the editor and helps with parameter names in function calls and deduced types. We’ve implemented a number of fixes to make inlay hints in C++ code more accurate, for example: CLion now displays a user-friendly wstring alias as a type hint for the std::basic_string type. CLion now displays an accurate type hint for dependent types. CLion 2022.1 offers better hints for the emplace, emplace_back/emplace_front, and make_unique/make_shared functions. In CLion 2022.1 we’ve enhanced the settings in Settings/Preferences | Editor | Inlay Hints with some explanations and code examples. You can now better understand the cases where the hints are shown and tune the settings to your preferences. Hints for array indices can now be disabled if you don’t need them. Previously this was not possible. Code analysis Because code analysis is a key part of the IDE, we’ve been working to make it more accurate and easier to configure, and to make its notifications more informative. The Clang-Tidy and MISRA settings in Settings/Preferences | Editor | Inspections | C/C++ | Static Analysis Tools were reworked to make the process of configuring checks easier. A new visual representation includes a tree with all of the checks. Speed search helps you find the checks you need faster – just start typing the name you are looking for when the dialog is in focus. For Clang-Tidy, the dialog also links to LLVM documentation to help you learn about the checks in more detail. It’s much easier to improve your code when the suggestions from the IDE not only name the problem and suggest the fix, but also show how the selected fix will transform the code. That’s why we’ve added a preview for intention actions: For Clang-Tidy, the issue causing incorrect results to occur when the WSL toolchain was used has been fixed by setting Clang-Tidy to execute inside the WSL itself. New C++ Class dialog When creating a new C++ class, you can now specify the namespace where you’d like the new class to be located. You’ll find a new field dedicated to this in the dialog: Structure View helps you navigate through the current file in just a few clicks. Sometimes you want the elements there to go in the same order as in the original file, but sometimes you want them to be grouped […]
