Enhance Completions with Ai
GitHub Copilot is an AI-powered code completion tool that helps you write code faster and smarter.
You can use the GitHub Copilot extension in VS Code to generate code, or to learn from the code it generates.
GitHub Copilot provides suggestions for numerous languages and a wide variety of frameworks, and it works especially well for Python, JavaScr.
Example: Install Mingw-X64
We will install Mingw-w64 via MSYS2, which provides up-to-date native builds of GCC, Mingw-w64, and other helpful C++ tools and libraries.
You can download the latest installer from the MSYS2 page or use this link to the installer.
Follow the Installation instructions on the MSYS2 website to install Mingw-w64.
Take care to run each required Start m.
Hello World
To make sure the compiler is installed and configured correctly, we'll create the simplest Hello World C++ program.
Create a folder called "HelloWorld" and open VS Code in that folder (code. opens VS Code in the current folder): mkdir HelloWorld cd HelloWorld code.
The "code." command opens VS Code in the current working folder, which becomes your .
Install A Compiler
C++ is a compiled language meaning your program's source code must be translated (compiled) before it can be run on your computer.
VS Code is first and foremost an editor, and relies on command-line tools to do much of the development workflow.
The C/C++ extension does not include a C++ compiler or debugger.
You will need to install these tools or .
Install The Extension
Open VS Code.
Select the Extensions view icon on the Activity bar or use the keyboard shortcut (⇧⌘X (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+X).
Search for 'C++'.
Select Install.
After you install the extension, when you open or create a *.cpp file, you will have syntax highlighting (colorization), smart completions and hovers (IntelliSense), and error checking.
Is VS Code a good tool for C++ development?
As an industry-leading code editor, VS Code remains a highly popular tool for development in many languages (not just C++), especially among Windows users.
For a long time VS Code only supported development in Windows, but recently became available for Mac and Linux.
Remote Development
VS Code and the C++ extension support Remote Development allowing you to work over SSH on a remote machine or VM, inside a Docker container, or in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
To install support for Remote Development: Install the VS Code Remote Development Extension Pack.
If the remote source files are hosted in WSL, use the WSL extensio.
