VSCode Configs for C/C++
Building the project
If you want to use Cmake, just follow the instruction here to add Cmake configuration to the project.
If you are on Windows with MinGW, follow the instructions here to setup the project environment.
Debugging the project
You should config launch.json in the .vscode directory. Add these configurations to the file:
{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.

"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "(gdb) Launch",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${fileDirname}\\build\\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.exe",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": true,
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"environment": [],
"externalConsole": false,
"MIMode": "gdb",
"miDebuggerPath": "Path to gdb",
"setupCommands": [
{
"description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
"text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
"ignoreFailures": true
}
]
}
]
}
In my case, the path to gdb is : "C:\\Program Files\\mingw-w64\\x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0\\mingw64\\bin\\gdb.exe"
