About CMake Plus
Extend CMake language support in the IDE's Editor:
- Highlighting/recognition (on top of CMake simple highlighter and based on sophisticated syntax-aware algorithms) of such command arguments as:
* Variable's reference and definition (user-defined and cmake built-in);
* Properties (user-defined and cmake built-in);
* Targets reference and definition;
* Module's names;
* Command's named parameters (aka keyword arguments) for Scripting, Project and Utility Modules commands;
* Generator expressions;
* Path or Url structures;
* Policies (CMP<NNNN>).
- Variables, Properties and Targets navigation: Go to definition / Find usages (*see Notes).
- Variables, Properties and Targets completion (no scope recognition yet).
- Completion and quick-docs for variables, commands and it's parameters of Scripting Commands, Project Commands and Utility Modules commands (other commands support coming).
- Generator expressions quick docs and completion (no semantic rules yet).
- Parameters info for Scripting, Project and Utility Modules commands (use `Ctrl/Cmd + P`).
- Inlay Hints for Scripting, Project and Utility Modules command parameters (could be customised/disabled in Settings);
- Regex language injection is implemented based on command's signatures: highlighting and inspections provided by IDE built-in Regex language support;
- Folding regions for functions, macros, if/for/while blocks (pre-2022.3) and:
* Multiline brackets comments (pre-2022.3);
* Consequent single-line comments (pre-2022.3);
* Multiline function's arguments.
- "Comment with Line / Block Comment" (`Ctrl + /` and `Shift + Ctrl + /`) actions (pre-2022.3).
- Structure View (for the current file) with:
* Function/Macros declarations;
* Variable (re)definitions;
* Properties (re)definitions;
* Targets definitions;
* Filtering by Functions, Macros, Variables, Properties, Targets and Sorting alphabetical;
* Navigation in both directions (Structure View <-> Editor).
- Quick Documentation for CMake commands, modules, policies, properties, and variables. Clion's (or other IntelliJ IDE with built-in CMake support) Quick Docs priority given.
- Syntax and Operation inspections:
* Variable is set but never used;
* Usage of possibly not defined Variable;
* Builtin commands should be used in lowercase;
* End-of-block commands (else, endif, etc.) should not take arguments.
* `Modules` and `Module's commands` name case.
* Usage of CMake reserves identifiers.
* Unrecognized parameter by command signature.
* More parameters required by command signature.
- Edit | Extend/Shrink Selection for Variables and Generator expressions
- External Formatter integration added: developed for and tested with cheshirekow/cmake_format
Require CMake simple highlighter to be installed!
See Visual Overview for more details and screenshots.
*Note: Variables scope of visibility is partially implemented: simple Function and Directory scopes only. Block, PARENT, nested functions scopes, etc. cases are WIP.
*Note: Properties scope of visibility is not implemented yet, i.e. all properties within Project are shown as global.
