IntelliJ IDEA + Pascal

[argb32]

Released version 1.2 with basic debugging support.
Breakpoints, run to cursor, step over/into/out etc. As well as local variables view.
GDB is required and debug information need to be included in executable (-gw option).
Tested in Linux.

Very nicely done, but IntelliJ seems not suitable to run on an averagely specified laptop so I uninstalled it from my laptop again (2 cores, 6 GB RAM). It is more than dead slow.
Strange, because other Java based editors - Eclipse(which is my default for Java)  and NetBeans - work at speed on the same laptop. No lagging.
I'll keep it on my desktop though, that one is over-specified. Note installation of your plugin worked like a breeze on both occasions.
What are the realistic hardware requirements for IntelliJ in your opinion? You don't really mean that you need i7, 8 virtual cores and 32 GB RAM - my desktop - for this to work?

For me it works nice in a VM with 2vCPU and 6GB of RAM.

Host OS Windows 10, guest OS Windows 7 and vmware workstation 12.5 for virtualization.

By default, IDEA limited to 750MB of heap (-Xmx option in idea64.vmoptions) for 64-bit mode. With JVM itself, off-heap buffers, stack etc it sums up to ~1.3GB on my machine. The same amount of memory is consumed by 3 most memory hungry tabs of Chrome. So 6GB is more than enough for IDEA.
A major slowdown may be caused by background indexing process which will start after creation of a new project. It's progress indicated on status bar below.
I-Pascal doesn't use some optimization facilities yet so it probably will consume more CPU than Java projects.

Will it be useful for Pascal developers: Parameter Hints.
What you think?

Version 1.3 is available with Pascal code style settings support.

Remarkable job! On first glance: Well done!
(I still have speed issues on my laptop, though)

[argb32]

Thanks.
Can't say anything on performance on laptop if JVM tuning didn't work.

That's IntelliJ, not your plugin.

For anyone that uses IntelliJ already and also uses FreePascal I'd recommend to give your plugin a try. I like it very much.

Version 1.40 features LLDB debugger backend which is very useful for OSX users.
More detailed changelog is available here.

Nice work argb32.
I can't see the commits on https://github.com/casteng/i-pascal
Are you storing the source on another platform?

I'm surprised. I have Eclipse Java EE Oxygen & Intellij IDEA Community on my DELL laptop (Centrino 2 + 4GB RAM). After using ZeroTrunAround's Optimizer for Eclipse, Eclipse and Intellij IDEA use approximately the same memory - 600MB. Intellij IDEA starts faster if it does not load projects by default and for me at least it is more responsive than Eclipse on my old limited laptop.

No, all the code is on GitHub. Just pushed.
