About advanced Debugging features in CLion IDE

Hello CLion Experts,

I am user of CLion 2017.1.1 (past: vs2015) and looking out for some existence of famous developer friendly features inside CLion IDE, details inline:

----

1. Diagnostic tools and performance profiling:

Most performance and diagnostics tools (profiling) can run inside a special toolbar mode that is separate from the debugger itself, like a set of that can run during debugging and provide more insight into the performance and state of the investigating apps.

2. Multi-threaded debugging view support:

It would be highly desired to have "The Parallel Stacks" window, as it is useful when we are debugging multithreaded applications. Its Threads View shows call stack information for all the threads in your application. It lets you navigate between threads and stack frames on those threads. In native code, the Tasks View shows call stacks of task groups, parallel algorithms, asynchronous agents, and lightweight tasks. There could also be a "Parallel Watch" window designed specifically for tracking variables across different threads, showing each thread as a row and each watch (object) as a column.

3. Dynamic Edit and continue support:

Edit and continue allows us to edit some sections of our code during a debugging session without rebuilding, potentially saving a lot of development time.

Kindly advice me how to find these developer features inside CLion IDE 2017.1.1 or what steps are required to request for them in near future release.


Kind Regards,
