Rust + CLion = Love

Hello, Habr! In general, as I promised, here is a story about how CLion as an IDE for Rust on MacOS is used. Why not IntelliJ IDEA? Because CLion can debut. Why LLDB and not GDB? Because LLDB was installed with Xcode. I like this IDE, and so I decided to tell you about it. If you are interested, then welcome to cat.

Rust Installation

Just execute the command in the terminal:

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

and follow the instructions.

You can also install fmt - a utility for formatting and clippy - a utility for static code analysis. If supported by your operating system. They work for me on Windows and Ubuntu, but not on the Mac. Although maybe the situation has already changed.

rustup component add rustfmt

rustup component add clippy

Install LLDB

If you did not install Xcode, then run the command in the terminal

lldb

and follow the instructions.
