CLion overview

What is CLion?

CLion is a solution for investigating and resolving C/C++ code issues that makes it possible to log events, use breakpoints based on lines, symbols, exceptions, and conditionals, and remove or disable breakpoints as a new point is reached. The program's features also include intelligent editor assistance, which allows the user to navigate the code via keyboard shortcuts and get a full view of the project with random expression or variable values.

CLion also customizes the debugging experience and makes it possible to run the application with admin/root privileges. On macOS and Linux systems, the program offers the option to open the existing core dump of a process and debug it.

In addition, CLion enables debugging either locally or remotely. The latter only requires the user to connect to an executable code running on a remote machine via gdbserver with CLion's GDB and start inspecting the code.

Cons
“The worst part of CLion would probably be it's size. It isn't the heaviest, but it did trouble my work when I had to run code on low memory.”
