I agree VS Code + clangd is probably the best C++ development experience I ever had.
- theptip 2y agoHow does it stack up vs. CLion?
- chpatrick 2y agoCLion was what I used before and it was way clunkier than VSCode with clangd. Complicated libraries like CGAL just weren't usable for auto-complete, but were instant with clangd.
- eulgro 2y agoIt doesn't, CLion is way better.
- chpatrick 2y agoI used CLion before I switched to clangd + vscode and it was orders of magnitude slower.
- tcbawo 2y agoWhat does it do better?
- okl 2y agoOne problem I always had with VSCode, is that it seems to fill up its autocomplete suggestions with "near-string-matches" from files all over the project. The jetbrains tools are quite strict in that regard and won't propose random string matches that don't fit semantically.
- digitaltensor 2y agoThat doesn't sound right. clangd should (and does) only suggest semantically valid suggestions. It's also much faster than the CLion's own C++ engine, though that might change with CLion Nova.
