CLion is a cross-platform IDE for C and C++ development.

CLion is a cross-platform C/C++ IDE from JetBrains (you can run it on Linux, Windows and macOS). It natively supports old and new C/C++ language standards, Boost and libc++ libraries, and works with templated code and macros. CLion helps you instantly navigate and refactor your code, with Rename refactoring, Change Signature, Inline, Extract Function / Variable / Constant / Parameter, and others. Code analysis (including Data Flow Analysis and Clang-Tidy) is running while you are typing to ensure code quality.

CLion uses CMake as a project model and handles your changes in CMake files automatically, using all the information from there during code editing and refactorings.

Apart from CMake, CLion supports compilation database and Gradle projects. Currently, you cannot create a new project of these types within CLion, but you can open and manage an existing one with full code insight available.

CLion will enrich your development with an integrated debugger (GDB and LLDB), Doxygen support, various unit testing frameworks, Version Control Systems, and dozens of plugins from the repository to extend its functionality.

Besides C and C++, CLion comes with Python, HTML, JavaScript, Swift Kotlin/Native and some other languages support included.

CLion’s functionality can be extended via IntelliJ Platform API.

Using local makefile for CLion instead of CMake

Is there a way to configure CLion to use a local makefile to compile code, rather than CMake? I can't seem to find the way to do it from the build options.

CLion: Keyboard cmd to switch between header and implementation files like in xcode

In xcode I type cmd-shift up/down to switch between .h and .c files. How do I do that in CLion? Or more usefully, what would that action be called in the keymap? I don't find the keymap names terribly usefully named. None stand out for this purpose,…

In Clion's debugger, how do I show the entire contents of an int array

Right now it is only showing the first element of the array but I want a visual of all the elements in the array. I think Clion is using GDB. EDIT: I am referring specifically to arrays on the heap. Arrays on the stack can be visualised.
