clice is a next-generation C++ language server built from scratch on LLVM/Clang, designed for high performance and deep code intelligence. It introduces compilation contexts, template pseudo-instantiation for dependent type resolution, and first-class C++20 named module support.

Use cases

• get code completion inside C++ template bodies
• work with C++20 named modules in my editor
• switch compilation contexts for multi-config projects
• handle non-self-contained headers in a language server
• replace clangd with a faster C++ language server
• go-to-definition for dependent types in generic code

When to choose

• you work with heavy template-based C++ code where clangd struggles with dependent types
• your project uses C++20 named modules
• you need compilation context switching for headers or multiple build configurations

When to avoid

• you need a battle-tested, maximally stable language server today
• you rely on clangd plugins or integrations not yet ported to clice
• your toolchain or platform is not among the supported release targets
