juCi++: a lightweight, platform independent C++-IDE with support for C++11, C++14 and C++17 features depending on libclang version.

About

Current IDEs struggle with C++ support due to the complexity of the programming language. juCI++, however, is designed especially towards libclang with speed, stability, and ease of use in mind.

Features

• Platform independent
• Fast, responsive and stable (written extensively using C++11/14 features)
• Syntax highlighting for more than 100 different file types
• C++ warnings and errors on the fly
• C++ Fix-its
• Integrated Clang-Tidy checks possible through clang plugins, for instance (recreating existing build is needed):

    CXX=clang++ CXXFLAGS="-Xclang -add-plugin -Xclang clang-tidy -Xclang -plugin-arg-clang-tidy -Xclang -checks='-*, clang-analyzer-core.*'" juci [project-path]

• Debug integration, both local and remote, through lldb
• Supports the following build systems:
  • CMake
  • Meson
• Git support through libgit2
• Fast C++ autocompletion
• Tooltips showing type information and doxygen documentation (C++)
• Rename refactoring across files (C++)
• Highlighting of similar types (C++)
• Automated documentation search (C++)
• Go to declaration, implementation, methods and usages (C++)
• OpenCL and CUDA files are supported and parsed as C++
• Other file types:
  • Language server protocol support is enabled if [language identifier]-language-server executable is found. This executable can be a symbolic link to one of your installed language server binaries.
    • For additional instructions, see: setup of tested language servers
  • otherwise, only keyword and buffer completion supported
• Find symbol through Ctags
• Spell checking depending on file context
• Run shell commands within juCi++
• Regex search and replace
• Smart paste, keys and indentation
• Extend/shrink selection
• Multiple cursors
• Snippets can be added in ~/.juci/snippets.json using the TextMate snippet syntax. The language ids used in the regexes can be found here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtksourceview/tree/master/data/language-specs.
• Auto-indentation through clang-format or Prettier if installed
• Source minimap
• Split view
• Full UTF-8 support
• Wayland supported with GTK+ 3.20 or newer

See enhancements for planned features.

Coding style

Due to poor lambda support in clang-format, a custom clang-format is used with the following patch applied:
