# clice  [](https://github.com/clice-io/clice/blob/main/LICENSE) [](https://github.com/clice-io/clice/actions) [](https://docs.clice.io/clice/) [](https://deepwiki.com/clice-io/clice) [](https://discord.gg/PA3UxW2VA3) clice is a next-generation language server designed for modern C++. Through excellent asynchronous task scheduling and intelligent caching, it achieves a lower memory footprint and faster response times. Beyond performance, clice provides instantiation-aware template processing, supports switching header contexts between different source files (including non-self-contained headers), and offers comprehensive support for C++20 modules, from code completion to go-to-definition. Our goal is to provide C++ developers with a truly fast, precise, and intelligent development companion. > [!IMPORTANT] > Support for header contexts and C++20 modules are core features currently under active development. They will be progressively refined in upcoming releases. Stay tuned! ## Getting started Download the latest `clice` binary from the [releases page](https://github.com/clice-io/clice/releases) and install the [vscode extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ykiko.clice-vscode). Then, add the following configuration to your `.vscode/settings.json` file: ```jsonc { // Optional: Set this to an empty string to turn off the clangd. "clangd.path": "", // Point this to the clice binary you downloaded. "clice.executable": "/path/to/your/clice/executable", } ``` > [!NOTE] > As an early version, please do not use it in a production environment. Crashes are expected, and we welcome you to submit issues. ## Documentation To learn more about building, installing, and configuring clice, or to dive deep into its features and architecture, please visit our official documentation at [**clice.io**](https://docs.clice.io/clice/).
