Concepts (configurations & actions)Ĭompared to typical CMake/meson projects, which in most cases are reduced toĪ single build folder, an xPack Managed Build project isĪ collection of named build configurationsĭefined as sequences of commands (stored in JSON as arrays of string). Stored in usual Git repositories, or even published on To package.json, but otherwise it uses exactly the same projectįormat as npm xPacks are actually npm packages, and can be Inherits from the simplicity of npm it adds a few more definitions Greatly simplifies the project IntelliSense configuration. Generate a compile_commands.json file, since this The xPack Managed Build is neutral to the build system, and basicallyĬan invoke any tools, old and new, but favours modern tools Starting point for more complex projects. The easiest way to start with the VS Code xPack C/C++ Managed BuildĮxtension is to create the classical Hello World project.Ī fully functional project, the result will also be a good XPack: Quick Start a Hello World project (C++, CMake) Which is a portable Node.js command line application It is intended as a replacement for the managed build system available This sub-project is part of The xPack Project. Projects, with an emphasis on modern C/C++ and embedded applications. Open any C/C++ file, set some breakpoints (or not), and hit the Big Green Play Button.Manage typical multi-configuration projects (like Debug/Release), butĪlso complex, multi-platform, multi-architecture, multi-toolchain Restart VSCode to take effects of newly added compiler paths. Create a sample C/C++ projectĬreate a new.cpp file inside it like below: # include using namespace std int main ( ) ĮxternalConsole in launch.json can be set to true to see code output in cmd instead. I tweaked it around and set it up as a complete IDE For small C, C++ projects especially geared towards competitive programming. One place for all extensions for Visual Studio, Azure DevOps Services, Azure DevOps Server and Visual Studio Code. Lately, I found VSCode and fell in love with it (first love was Atom). The only options available were Dev-C++ (outdated) and the original "Mammoth" Visual Studio.
I extensively used C & C++ in my competitive programming years and wanted better support for debugging & IntelliSense. Though, this guide is focused on the Windows platform but can be extended to Mac and Linux with some minor changes. By the end of this short guide, you’d be able to run, debug, and get IntelliSense for C/C++ files in VSCode.
