Early Access ProgramNews
A new CLion 2021.1 EAP build (211.6085.16) is now available from our website, via the Toolbox App, or as a snap package (if you are using Ubuntu). Note that if you are on macOS, there is a separate build for Apple Silicon (M1 chip).
C++ Clion G++
Today we are delighted to introduce postfix completion for C++ in CLion! Read on for more details.
Find the JetBrains CLion 2019.2 shortcut icon on your desktop. If there none, create a shortcut icon (with this name, or just CLion) on your desktop to the file C:/Program Files/JetBrains/CLion 2019.2/bin/clion64.exe. You will double-click this icon to start CLion (see the next section). Go to declaration, class, type or base symbol in one click. Search for all usages of a symbol throughout code, strings and comments. Instantly create constructors, missing members, equality, relational and stream output operators and override/implement functions. CMake is a meta build system that uses scripts called CMakeLists to generate build files for a specific environment (for example, makefiles on Unix machines). When you create a new CMake project in CLion, a CMakeLists.txt file is automatically generated under the project root. Let's start with creating a new CMake project. Postfix completion for C Postfix code completion lets you add code around an expression you've just typed. It can wrap an expression with a frequently used language construct, or pass the expression as the first argument of a free function. Postfix templates to wrap expressions with language constructs. CLion is one of the cross-platform support for IDE languages like C and C. Visual Studio is a complete feature, top IDE developed by MS for developing the latest web apps. 2 CLion can prove your creativity with smart and relevant code execution, quick navigation and reliable refactoring.
Postfix completion for C++
Postfix code completion lets you add code around an expression you've just typed. It can wrap an expression with a frequently used language construct, or pass the expression as the first argument of a free function.
Postfix templates to wrap expressions with language constructs
Postfix templates can help you with typical language constructs. Here's how you can use them:
- Type an expression and then a dot.
- After the dot, type the template abbreviation (postfix).
- Press the expansion key (it's Tab by default, but can be reconfigured in Settings/Preferences | Editor | General | Postfix Completion). Alternatively, simply select the abbreviation you need from the completion list that appears at step 2.
- The template expands and wraps your expression.
This is really useful especially when it comes to wrapping with a C++-style cast, make_shared/make_unique, various loops, begin/end idioms, and more:
The CLion 2021.1 EAP3 build ships with 20+ predefined templates, but unfortunately, you cannot define your own templates – for now. To find the list of abbreviations and the explanations of what the templates expand into, please go to Settings/Preferences | Editor | General | Postfix Completion. You can also enable or disable any templates from this list:
Postfix completion to pass the expression as the first argument of a free function
In this scenario, you can use postfix code completion to pass the expression you've just typed as the first argument to a free function. Here's how you can use it:
- Type an expression and then type a dot.
- CLion will suggest free functions that would accept the expression as the first parameter (taking ADL into account).
- After you select a function, the code is updated so that the expression is passed as the first argument.

Known issues are linked to this ticket CPP-4039. Feel free to submit a new report if you find any other problems.
This isn't the first build in our current EAP. Here is a short summary of the enhancements that have already been introduced in earlier 2021.1 EAP builds:
- Global Data Flow Analysis
- Google Sanitizers, Valgrind Memcheck, Code Coverage in remote mode
- Clazy analyzer in CLion
- Improvements to Makefile and CMake projects
This may also be a good time to mention Code With Me – our new service for remote collaborative development, which has recently added support for voice and video calls and is now in Beta. Learn more about Code With Me.
