I wonder what the resource usage of this will be. ReSharper with C# really slows things down on my machine. With an SSD it's fine, but with a regular HDD I notice the difference.

That's exactly why I uninstalled Resharper. I loved the extension, and was quite seriously considering paying the cost of admission ($149), but it just dragged down Visual Studio 2013, both in terms of start times and I also had random second-long freezes throughout the day. This disappeared as soon as I uninstalled it. It appears like Visual Studio 2015 has many of the Reshaper features I most covet, and doesn't app…

I always thought Visual Studio was a dog but one day I opened it with ReSharper disabled and it was blistering fast.

ReSharper makes writing C# a lot easier so I stick with it.

VS2015 has, on paper, some of ReSharper's features but I tried it without ReSharper and it felt ... dead. So you still need it for a complete C# IDE experience.

Mixed comments on resource usage so far. Some examples: * "Besides beeing a bit slow, VS suddenly felt like a proper IDE" * "a bit more sluggish than using vanilla VS, but made up for it in terms of usability" * "even after I've opened the project and everything is parsed, Visual Studio slows down too much for it to be acceptable" * "once resharper had completed (warning up) though, everything was fine and Visual Stu…

Thanks for the info.

Just some statistics on my setup:

Machine: i7, 8GB RAM, 7200 rpm HDD, vs2012 (upgrade to 2013 happening soon hopefully).

Project: 70 Projects in Solution, ~500k LOC.

I tried it again today and it was simply too slow for my taste. The HDD on my machine needs to be replaced, though, so it isn't all on Resharper. I suspect with a proper SSD it wouldn't be nearly as slow.

I haven't tried it for C++ solutions.

I am not sure it matters much anymore - why would you want to get a computer without an SSD?

Okay so some big companies haven't yet gotten around to upgrading, but a) there are going to be fewer of those around and b) this is a new tool. It is not necessarily a bad idea to target your tool a little in front of the average machine, especially if you want to be the best.

I haven't used a non-SSD in a dev machine for over 5 years. Sometimes people in the office fill their SSD C-drive and start working from D-drive. This is unacceptable and they get a bigger SSD.

I think it should definitely get better with SSD although not sure if it would be completely OK: 500k is quite a lot, at least by v1.0 standard. Give it a try when/if you're on a SSD. Do get in touch with us (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/rscpp) if still too slow by then, we'll try to see what can be done.

Second-long freezes... could be ReSharper, could be a different plug-in or a VCS integration interfering with ReSharper. Unfortunately you got rid of it so I guess we'll never know for sure )

Hmm, interesting how it compares to VisualAssistX (a plugin for Visual Studio that has been around for a very long time). Hopefully someone will blog a thorough comparison soon.

First of all ReSharper C++ offers ~60 real-time code inspections. Things like unreachable code, hiding local declarations, dependent type without 'typename' keyword, non-inline function definition in a header file, boost::format with too many or too few arguments, invalid printf format specifiers, redundant keywords ('else', 'static', 'template' etc). Quick-fixes are provided for many of the inspections so that if yo…

How many of those things are going to be in clion?

A lot. Definitely a similar set of code inspections/quick-fixes and navigation actions. Not sure about the set of refactorings and context actions (intention actions in their terms) but based on history of IntelliJ IDEA based products that CLion is, I think they won't disappoint in this regard, too.

Resharper is indispensable for me. Code is better by a factor of 2 while it's there to remind everyone of a common style and template. I have used it on a project that had ~1 million loc and 250 projects and didn't find an issue with it slowing the ide. You need to be careful with having other extensions that monitor code in real time as that is the big cause of slowdowns and deadlocks. I'm looking forward to trying this one out.
