The CLion 2021.3 EAP bundles the MinGW toolchain for quick setup, which you can rely on if you don’t have any other options installed on your machine. When getting started with CLion on Windows, there are several options for environments: MinGW, Cygwin, Visual Studio, or WSL. In this release, we are working on improving the UX and enhancing the existing functionality. Without that initial configuration projects won’t be loaded correctly.įrom CLion users’ feedback, we know that environment and toolchain configuration is challenging, especially on Windows. On any platform, to start with CLion, users need to select at least one of the supported environments and configure the toolchain with the compiler, debugger, and other tools. But for people just starting out with CLion, it’s the first thing they are introduced to.
If your environment is stable and you rarely change tools like compilers, you are probably not using the CLion toolchains settings after you have configured it. Toolchains and environments became easier Users can now edit names of the postfix completion snippets if you prefer names different from the default ones. Also, Ctrl+Click (on Windows/Linux) and Cmd+Click (on macOS) allow navigating to the declaration of the type you clicked on: If the type hint includes the template instantiation, the template arguments can be collapsed by simply clicking on the angle brackets. You can disable or enable specific type hints in Settings/Preferences | Editor | Inlay Hints | C/C++ or right from the hint’s context menu. The use cases when the hints are present are auto variables, structured bindings: In the CLion 2021.3 EAP, we added type hints for deduced types. For example, parameter hints show the names of function parameters for passed arguments.
