How to debug a forked child process using CLion

I followed answer posted by @MarkusParker, but instead of set auto-load safe-path / I used set detach-on-fork off to prevent disconnect from child process. This instruction works for me: Set a break point at the beginning of your program (ie. the parent program, not the child program). Start the program in the debugger. Go to … Read more

Does CLion IDE include all features which ReSharper C++ provides under Visual Studio?

The choice between CLion and ReSharper C++ is usually dictated by your development environment. CLion is a standalone cross-platform IDE based on the IntelliJ platform. It is an option when your project uses CMake to manage the build process and GCC/Clang as the compiler. On the other hand, if you are using Visual Studio as … Read more

Is it possible to configure CLion to compile source files in a project independently?

You could define multiple executables in the CMakeLists.txt for each problem. instead of add_executable(projecteuler ${SOURCE_FILES}) you could define add_executable(problem1 problem1.c) add_executable(problem2 problem2.c) Then you get for each executable (problem1, problem2 etc.) a run configuration, which you can run independently. In this case you won’t have to rewrite every time, instead you just add the new … Read more

CMake – Creating a static library

The add_library line should be all you need. See this example code I just wrote to test out creating one and then using it (on Ubuntu 16.04): Structure.h: int sum( int a, int b ); Structure.c: int sum( int a, int b ) { return a + b; } Main.c: #include <stdio.h> #include “Structure.h” int … Read more

How to configure CLion IDE for Qt Framework?

It is based on CMake configuration files (e.g “CMakeLists.txt”). You have to add Qt based CMake commands (the lines with ‘find_package’ and ‘target_link_libraries’): … Read more

How to Create, Compile, And Run a single file in CLion

You may modify the CMakeLists.txt Here an example : cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.3) project(test_build) set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS “${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11”) set(BUILD_1 main) set(SOURCE_FILES_1 main.cc) //where main.cc is your first main/program add_executable(${BUILD_1} ${SOURCE_FILES_1}) set(BUILD_2 main_2) set(SOURCE_FILES_2 main_2.cc) //where main_2.cc is your second main/program add_executable(${BUILD_2} ${SOURCE_FILES_2}) Or use a test (garbage version) : add_executable(foo bar.cc) After that you can choose the build … Read more
