C/C++ support for Visual Studio Code is provided by a Microsoft C/C++ extension to enable cross-platform C and C++ development on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Getting started
C/C++ compiler and debugger
The C/C++ extension does not include a C++ compiler or debugger. You will need to install these tools or use those already installed on your computer.
Popular C++ compilers are:
- GCC on Linux
- GCC via Mingw-w64 on Windows
- Microsoft C++ compiler on Windows
- Clang for XCode on macOS
Make sure your compiler executable is in your platform path so the extension can find it. You can check availability of your C++ tools by opening the Integrated Terminal (⌃` (Windows, Linux Ctrl+`)) in VS Code and try running the executable (for example
g++ --help
).Install the Microsoft C/C++ extension
- Open VS Code.
- Click the Extensions view icon on the Sidebar (⇧⌘X (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+X)).
- Search for
c++
. - Click Install.
Online C Compiler
Dev-C is an integrated development environment (IDE) for the C programming language. It presents a feature-rich environment, tools for writing and debugging, as well as a compiler to provide you with all the tools necessary to program software in C. TutorialsPoint.dev is an online Knowledge based platform for all kinds of development including Web development Tutorials, Native Programming, Data Structure, Algorithm and Computer Science Courses.
Hello World tutorials
Get started with C++ and VS Code with Hello World tutorials for your environment:
Documentation
You can find more documentation on using the Microsoft C/C++ extension under the C++ section, where you'll find topics on:
Remote Development
Dev C++ Compiler Online
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).
G++ Compiler Options
To install support for Remote Development:
![G++ compiler options G++ compiler options](/uploads/1/2/6/1/126127216/473231331.png)
- Install the VS Code Remote Development Extension Pack.
- If the remote source files are hosted in WSL, use the Remote - WSL extension.
- If you are connecting to a remote machine with SSH, use the Remote - SSH extension.
- If the remote source files are hosted in a container (for example, Docker), use the Remote - Containers extension.
Feedback
If you run into any issues or have suggestions for the Microsoft C/C++ extension, please file issues and suggestions on GitHub. If you haven't already provided feedback, please take this quick survey to help shape this extension for your needs.
Dev C++ Compiler Setup
thanks for your concern ...
I AM QUITE KEEN TO MAKE SOME PROGRESS IN INFORMATICS OLYMPIAD AND ACM-ICPC BUT ALL THESE TECHNICAL YET NON-ALGORITHMIC PROBLEMS ARE POSING A BIG PROBLEM
by the way if u just have time the competition website is http://www.iarcs.org.in/inoi/about_gcc.php
or just just google ' inoi ' its the first result
Switching from Turbo C++ to gcc/gpp: Some common problems
IARCS home > OLYMPIAD > Current
Do not use
#include <conio.h>
You will not need any functions from this header (e.g., clrscr(), getch()).
Note: The Dev-C++ and Code::Blocks compilers are based on gcc, but both of them allow some non-gcc header files, notably conio.h. Please rememmber not to use conio.h, otherwise your programs will not compile under gcc on the evaluation server.
For C++ header files such as iostream.h, leave out the suffix .h when including the file. That is, use
#include <iostream>
rather than
#include <iostream.h>
Note: The does not apply to C header files such as stdio.h. For C header files, include the suffix .h, as usual. For example:
#include <stdio.h>
After the header files, add the line
using namespace std;
to ensure that C++ finds the functions cin and cout.
Define main as int main() rather than void main().
To summarize, here is how a typical C++ program using gcc/gpp would look:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
cout << 'Hello worldn';
}
this is what that site says
MY DEV C++ IS FROM ORWELL , LIKE I SAID I KNOW VERY VERY WELL WHAT DOES A BASIC HELLO WORLD PROGRAM LOOK LIKE IN TURBO C++ AS WELL AS WHATEVER THIS GCC /ANSI /MINGW (I DONT KNOW WHAT TO CALL THIS VERSION WHERE using namespace std; is compulsory)
BUT THATS WHAT MY PROBLEM IS THE EXE BLACK SCREEN STAYS BLANK (NOT UNRESPONSIVE IT CAN BE CLOSED WITH (ALT +F4) BUT NO OUTPUT AT ALL NOR THERE IS ANY DIAGNOSTIC STATEMENT )
THIS PROBLEM REPEATS AFTER EVERY 10 DAYS SO,
I REINSTALL THE COMPILER AGAIN N AGAIN AND RECACHE ALL HEADER FILES THEN THE PROBLEM IS RECTIFIED
THANKS AGAIN
