Fix problems

By default, CLion analyses the code in all open files and highlights the detected code issues. You can fix most of the issues immediately by applying quick-fixes.

Place the caret at the highlighted piece of code and press Alt+Enter:

You can also hover the mouse over the highlighted element and apply a quick-fix from the inspection popup:

For some inspections, you can open a preview by pressing Ctrl+Shift+I.

If you perform code analysis or execute a single inspection in a larger scope of source files, CLion displays the detected code issues in the Problems tool window. When you select a specific issue in this window, its report is shown in the right part of the window.

tip

• To display the source code of an issue in the editor, when it is selected in the Problems tool window, toggle the Navigate with Single Click button.

• If you find that some of the reported issues are minor or not helpful to you, you can ignore them either by disabling the corresponding inspection or by suppressing it in a specific piece of code.
