Enable/disable and suppress inspections
Some inspections may report problems that you currently do not want to see. In this case, you can disable or suppress them.
When you disable an inspection, you turn it off. It means that the code analysis engine stops searching project files for the problem that this inspection is designed to detect. Note that when you disable an inspection, you disable it in the current inspection profile; it remains enabled in other profiles.
Disable inspections
Disable an inspection in the settings
In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, select .
Locate the inspection you want to disable, and clear the checkbox next to it.
Apply the changes and close the dialog.
Disable an inspection in the editor
Place the caret at the highlighted line and press Alt+Enter (or click to use the intention action).
Click the arrow next to the inspection you want to disable, and select Disable inspection.
Disable an inspection in the Results tool window
In the Inspection Results tool window (after running code analysis), right-click the inspection you want to disable and select Disable inspection.
Click to hide the disabled inspection alerts.
Suppress inspections
When you suppress an inspection, the code analysis engine doesn't highlight the problem found by this inspection in the specific piece of code (file, statement, function, or line).
Suppress an inspection in the editor
Place the caret at the highlighted line and press Alt+Enter (or click to use the intention action).
Click the arrow next to the inspection you want to suppress, and select the necessary suppress action.
You can also suppress inspections from the Results tool window.
For C/C++ code, CLion uses the #pragma clang diagnostic
to suppress inspections. For example, when you suppress one of the Clang-Tidy inspections, modernize-avoid-bind
, for a selected function, the following code appears above and below the declaration:
Clang-Tidy inspections have the additional Suppress for line option, which adds the // NOLINT comment, forcing Clang-Tidy to ignore the current line:
To re-enable a suppressed inspection, delete the #pragma
lines or // NOLINT
comments.
Change the highlighting level for a file
By default, CLion highlights all detected code problems. Hover the mouse over the widget in top-right corner of the editor and select another level from the Highlight list:
None: turn highlighting off.
Syntax: highlight syntax problems only.
All Problems: (default) highlight syntax problems and problems found by inspections.
You can also change the highlighting level from the main menu. Select or press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+H.
