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-serverexecutable 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
- Language server protocol support is enabled if
- Find symbol through Ctags
- Spell checking depending on file context
- Run shell commands within juCi++
- Regex search and replace
- Smart paste, keys and indentation
- Multiple cursors
- 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:
