#### A cross-platform IDE for C and C++

CLion is a cross-platform IDE which natively supports C and C++, libc++ and Boost. It offers instant navigation to a symbol's declaration or usages, code generation for constructors/destructors, operators and more. There are dozens of refactorings, code analysis (including Data Flow Analysis and Clang-Tidy integration) and integration with GDB and LLDB. CLion uses the well-known CMake build system, supports Google test, Boost.Test, and Catch unit testing. There is Doxygen for documenting the code, Valgrind Memcheck for memory profiling, and support for all the popular Version Control Systems, it can even provide a VIM-emulation mode via a plugin.

CLion is available for a free 30-day evaluation.
Monthly and yearly subscription options are available for companies and individual users. Find out more on <https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/buy/>
