A power tool
For a power language
Smart C and C++ editor
Thanks to native C and C++ support, including modern C++ standards, libc++ and Boost, CLion knows your code through and through and takes care of the routine while you focus on the important things.
Navigation
Instantly navigate to a symbol's declaration or context usages, search through the whole project for a class, file or symbol by its name, find your way through the code base with structure and hierarchical views.
Code generation
Add class members, override/implement functions, generate constructors/destructors, getters/setters, equality, relational and stream output operators, wrap a block of code with a statement, or generate a declaration from actual usage - all via simple keyboard shortcuts.
Refactoring
Rename symbols, move members up/down the hierarchy, change function signature, and be sure CLion’s automated refactorings will accurately propagate the appropriate changes throughout your code.
Free 30-day trial
On-the-fly
code analysis
With CLion, you can create code that's beautiful and correct at the same time. Potential code issues are identified instantly...
...and fixed as you type! Be sure all the proper changes are handled automatically by CLion.
CLion also performs Data Flow analysis to find out all the cases of the unreachable code, infinite recursion and more.
Integrated debugger
Investigate and solve problems with ease through CLion's friendly debugger user interface with GDB or LLDB available as a backend.
Attach to local processes or debug remotely. Check disassembly view when sources are not available.
Inline variable view
Get the complete view of your project with variable values shown right in the editor as you debug.
Watches and variables view
Inspect the state of all the variable for a chosen function in the stack frame, or monitor variable/expression changes during the debug session.
Evaluate expression
Evaluate result of a function call or some complicated expression when stop at some execution point in the debug session.
Fully Integrated C/C++ Development Environment
Project models
CLion works with CMake, Gradle C++ and compilation database project models, using all the information from there during code editing and refactorings.
Keyboard-centric approach
To help you focus on code and raise your productivity, CLion has keyboard shortcuts for nearly all its features, actions and commands.
Vim fans are welcome to install the Vim-emulation plugin.
Everything you need in one place
Everything you need for your everyday development is included: all popular VCS (Subversion, Git, GitHub, Mercurial, CVS, and Perforce), Google Test, Boost.Test and Catch frameworks for unit testing, Doxygen and Database tools.
Local and remote work
With embedded terminal, run any command without leaving the IDE: locally or remotely using the SSH protocol.
After editing your code locally, build, run or debug your application or unit tests locally or remotely.
New Features
What’s New in CLion 2019.3
Better IDE Performance
Various performance improvements including faster Rename refactoring, eliminated UI freezes, optimized Building/Updating symbols step, and Clangd-based code completion.
Ninja Generator
CMake support was updated to support various generators including Ninja. Besides this, CLion has the ability to configure the CMake defaults used for all newly created projects.
C++20’s Concepts
One of the biggest features from C++20 now comes to CLion. It includes support in code parsing and highlighting, as well as updates for code completion, Rename refactoring, and navigation actions.
Testimonials
What our
customers say
CLion is fantastic, finally the C++ high quality cross-platform IDE with CMake as first class build system we were waiting for.
Both of these tools (CLion and Rider) help our team on a daily basis, allowing developers to perform their tasks quickly and efficiently, all the while seamlessly integrating with numerous parts of our pipeline.
I would like to take this moment to say, CLion has quickly become my favorite IDE for C/C++. It just works. #jetbrains #CLion
Really liking @clion_ide for a new C++ project: lightweight, responsive, useful, good integrations. And most important, great vi emulation.
