Formatter

A new formatter option has been added for line comments. This new option, Treat indented line comments as block of comments on unindented code, on the Comments tab of the formatter preserves line comments in a block starting after unindented code (such as global variables). See (Bug 499553)

Build

New C/C++ Project Wizard

A new "New C/C++ Project" wizard has been added. It uses the new template engine UI that was introduced for Qt and Arduino projects. It contains those as well as the previous "New C Project" and "New C++ Project" wizards as entries.

CMake Projects

Early support for CMake projects have been added. This is very much a preview and not recommended for production. It supports calling out to CMake to generate Makefiles to build the CMake projects.

Build Targets in the Project Explorer

Make Targets have been renamed Build Targets to better reflect their nature (i.e. not only for "make" targets). They have also been added to the Project Explorer under a "Build Targets" virtual node under each container (folder/directory) that has build targets defined.

Debug

Show Reason for Crash when Postmortem Debugging

When debugging a postmortem file, the reason for the crash is displayed on the thread label in the Debug view. (see commit) CDT PostMortemReason.png
