Note that this doesn’t currently work for Cygwin/WSL/Remote toolchains, but we plan to add it later.

CLION MAKEFILE CODE

You no longer need to remember the multitude of compiler flags for PCH and pass them via the project model! New CMake commands and properties are now supported by CLion, which means code resolve and all IDE features work correctly: You just use the target_precompile_headers command to add header files to the PRECOMPILE_HEADERS and/or INTERFACE_PRECOMPILE_HEADERS properties of a target. CMake precompiled headers is a great unification feature, which allows you to organize precompiled headers in your project in a compiler-independent way. The precompiled headers (PCH) technique can speed up compilation by creating a partially processed version of some header files, and then reusing it during subsequent compilation runs. We are planning to add a UI to support multi-config generators, later ( CPP-20890). While CLion 2020.2 generates them all, it still uses only one, selected in the CMake Profile settings.

Ninja Multi-Config is an option ( -G 'Ninja Multi-Config') for the Ninja generator in CMake that allows you to get build files generated for all configurations at once.

We also encourage you to watch this short demo from Phil Nash to see Makefile projects support in action:ĬLion 2020.2 bundles CMake 3.17 and now offers necessary support for a few useful features from the recent CMake updates:

We also want to sincerely thank all early previewers who gave this new feature a try and shared their feedback! Feel free to check out this blog post for the implementation details, a few configuration tips, and a list of known issues, as well as our future plans in this direction. However, we’ve tested it on a long list of projects, which you can find on our Confluence page. Support for makefile projects in CLion is still in its early stages with various limitations and known issues. In Run/Debug configurations you can select the Makefile Application configuration, allowing you to run and debug your Makefile targets. The arguments of the make command, as well as the Build target and Clean target commands used by CLion to load the project, are configurable in Settings/Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Makefile: If parsing is successful, CLion loads the project and enables all the smart IDE features for it. To be able to load a Makefile project, CLion runs make on it, by default with the -just-print option to avoid actually building it, and parses the output of the make command. CLion 2020.2 is now open to a wider variety of C and C++ projects due to the introduction of a much-requested feature – support for Makefiles projects! This list of supported project models is probably the biggest limitation of CLion. Among other supported project models, in CLion you’ll find Gradle, Compilation Database, and Bazel (via a 3rd-party plugin). From the very first versions, CLion has treated CMake as a first-class citizen, providing many productivity-boosting features for it. Our developer ecosystem study revealed that the top 3 project models for C++ projects are CMake, Visual Studio, and Makefiles.

More options in unit testing – Doctest and support for new Catch2 and Google Test features.

Catching more tricky cases with the enhanced built-in code analysis.

If you are interested in the specific details, please read on: Here is a quick overview of the main highlights.

CLION MAKEFILE UPDATE

To update to this version, you can use the Toolbox App, a snap package (on Ubuntu), download the installer from our website, or apply the patch update to upgrade from the last 2020.1 build. We’ve also addressed many typical C++ code issues with new and improved code analysis checks, and we’ve significantly enhanced unit testing framework integration and code coverage workflow.

We’ve continued adding support for the new C++20 standard, which is expected to be officially published this year.

With this version we make CLion available for a greater variety of C and C++ projects by adding long-awaited Makefile projects support. Good news everyone – we’ve released CLion 2020.2!

Easier embedded development with the updated PlatformIO plugin.

Updates to the Go to Declaration or Usages action and Clangd configuration.
