Linux 下VS Code 的使用

这里以创建helloworld 为例。

Step 0:准备工作：

1. Install Visual Studio Code.

2. Install the C++ extension for VS Code. You can install the C/C++ extension by searching for 'c++' in the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X).

Step 1: 创建工作目录 helloworld，并启动vscode

mkdir helloworld
cd helloworld
code .

Step 2: 工作目录helloworld 下会生成一个.vscode 文件夹，其中需要三个关键的配置文件：

• tasks.json (compiler build settings)
• launch.json (debugger settings)
• c_cpp_properties.json (compiler path and IntelliSense settings)

  （1）tasks.json stores build configurations.

The first time you run your program, the C++ extension creates tasks.json

例子如下

{"version": "2.0.0","tasks": [{"type": "shell","label": "C/C++: g++ build active file","command": "/usr/bin/g++","args": ["-g", "${file}", "-o", "${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}"],"options": {"cwd": "/usr/bin"},"problemMatcher": ["$gcc"],"group": {"kind": "build","isDefault": true},"detail": "Task generated by Debugger."}]
}

（2）launch.json 存储 debug 配置信息

To create launch.json, choose Add Debug Configuration from the play button drop-down menu.

例子如下：

{"version": "0.2.0","configurations": [{"name": "C/C++: g++ build and debug active file","type": "cppdbg","request": "launch","program": "${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}","args": [],"stopAtEntry": false,"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}","environment": [],"externalConsole": false,"MIMode": "gdb","miDebuggerPath": "/usr/bin/gdb","setupCommands": [{"description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb","text": "-enable-pretty-printing","ignoreFailures": true}],"preLaunchTask": "C/C++: g++ build active file"}]
}

From now on, the play button and F5 will read from your launch.json file when launching your program for debugging.

（3）c_cpp_properties.json  C/C++ configurations

If you want more control over the C/C++ extension, you can create a c_cpp_properties.json file, which will allow you to change settings such as the path to the compiler, include paths, C++ standard (default is C++17), and more.

You can view the C/C++ configuration UI by running the command C/C++: Edit Configurations (UI) from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).

You only need to modify the Include path setting if your program includes header files that are not in your workspace or in the standard library path.例子如下：

{"configurations": [{"name": "Linux","includePath": ["${workspaceFolder}/**"],"defines": [],"compilerPath": "/usr/bin/gcc","cStandard": "c11","cppStandard": "c++17","intelliSenseMode": "clang-x64"}],"version": 4
}

 VS Code is now configured to use gcc on Linux. The configuration applies to the current workspace. To reuse the configuration, just copy the JSON files to a .vscode folder in a new project folder (workspace) and change the names of the source file(s) and executable as needed.

Ubuntu 下使用clang 作为vscode 的编译器，可参考如下链接进行设置：
