Hi fellow clangers,<br>
<br>
I wanted to share my positive experiences using CLion to work<br>
on the clang codebase. I'm using local copies of the code checked<br>
out from the github llvm-mirror repositories and working in my own<br>
feature branch following a typical github workflow.<br>
<br>
CLion understands CMake projects and even though LLVM+clang+tools-extra<br>
is quite a pile of CMake code, CLion digests it without difficulty or<br>
error. The IDE itself is rock-solid, which is as I'd expect from an<br>
IDE shell based on IntelliJ which is a very stable shipping product.<br>
<br>
The editor, project navigator and whatnot are what you'd expect from<br>
any IDE these days. Some things that I found handy:<br>
<br>
- filename completion while editing the CMakeLists.txt file<br>
- excellent refactoring support<br>
- excellent code navigation<br>
- a "run configuration" already created for every executable target<br>
in the project. LLVM+clang+tools-extra creates quite a large number<br>
of executables, but CLion makes it easy to find the configuration of<br>
interest by filtering as you type when selecting a configuration.<br>
<br>
Debugger support is on a par with gdb but with a GUI view of<br>
local variables, watch expressions, etc. There is access to the<br>
gdb console if you want to head straight to the debugger.<br>
<br>
I am pretty keyboard-centric when I'm in a development session and<br>
CLion's IntelliJ-based IDE is easy to use and allows for robust<br>
keybinding customization if desired. I tend to use the standard<br>
keyboard mapping and navigate through menus, etc., by the keyboard.<br>
CLion doesn't get in my way when staying focused on the keyboard.<br>
<br>
There's tons more I could say, but this is already too long :).<br>
I recommend just trying an EAP build and seeing what you think.<br>
