The PVS-Studio analyzer already has plugins for such IDEs from JetBrains as Rider, IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio. Somehow we missed another IDE - CLion. The time has come to make amends!

There will be no tech-hardcore in this article. This is more of a story about moments that we stumbled upon during the development process. Chill out and enjoy your reading. ;)

Note. By the way, the JetBrains website provides the results of various surveys for 2021. The figures cover most common language standards, IDEs, tools, etc. I highly recommend to read, it's worthy. CLion is one of the three most used IDEs / editors. What IDEs for C / C++ do you use?
