Create a New Project (refer to your tri-fold brochure) Microsoft Visual C++ offers an easy-to-use GUI, graphical user interface. It contains a Project Workspace window, an Editor window (where you will write your programming code), and an Output Message window (where you will see your error messages). 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. Install the extension
After you install the extension, when you open or create a Install a compilerC++ 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 use those already installed on your computer. There may already be a C++ compiler and debugger provided by your academic or work development environment. Check with your instructors or colleagues for guidance on installing the recommended C++ toolset (compiler, debugger, project system, linter). Some platforms, such as Linux or macOS, have a C++ compiler already installed. Most Linux distributions have the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) installed and macOS users can get the Clang tools with Xcode. Check if you have a compiler installedMake sure your compiler executable is in your platform path ( Checking for the GCC compiler
Checking for the Clang compiler 0:
If you don't have a compiler installed, in the example below, we describe how to install the Minimalist GNU for Windows (MinGW) C++ tools (compiler and debugger). MinGW is a popular, free toolset for Windows. If you are running VS Code on another platform, you can read the , which cover C++ configurations for Linux and macOS. Example: Install MinGW-x64We 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 menu and 1 command.You will need to install the full Mingw-w64 toolchain ( 2) to get the 3 debugger.Add the MinGW compiler to your pathAdd the path to your Mingw-w64 4 folder to the Windows 5 environment variable by using the following steps:
Check your MinGW installationTo check that your Mingw-w64 tools are correctly installed and available, open a new Command Prompt and type:
If you don't see the expected output or 3 is not a recognized command, make sure your PATH entry matches the Mingw-w64 binary location where the compiler tools are located.If the compilers do not exist at that PATH entry, make sure you followed the instructions on the MSYS2 website to install Mingw-w64. Hello WorldTo 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 ( 1 opens VS Code in the current folder):
The "code ." command opens VS Code in the current working folder, which becomes your "workspace". Accept the Workspace Trust dialog by selecting Yes, I trust the authors since this is a folder you created. Now create a new file called 2 with the New File button in the File Explorer or File > New File command.Add Hello World source codeNow paste in this source code:
Now press ⌘S (Windows, Linux Ctrl+S) to save the file. You can also enable to automatically save your file changes, by checking Auto Save in the main File menu. Build Hello WorldNow that we have a simple C++ program, let's build it. Select the Terminal > Run Build Task command (⇧⌘B (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+B)) from the main menu. This will display a dropdown with various compiler task options. If you are using a GCC toolset like MinGW, you would choose C/C++: g++.exe build active file. This will compile 2 and create an executable file called 4, which will appear in the File Explorer.Run Hello WorldFrom a command prompt or a new VS Code Integrated Terminal, you can now run your program by typing ".\helloworld". If everything is set up correctly, you should see the output "Hello World". This has been a very simple example to help you get started with C++ development in VS Code. The next step is to try one of the tutorials listed below on your platform (Windows, Linux, or macOS) with your preferred toolset (GCC, Clang, Microsoft C++) and learn more about the Microsoft C/C++ extension's language features such as IntelliSense, code navigation, build configuration, and debugging. TutorialsGet started with C++ and VS Code with tutorials for your environment:
DocumentationYou can find more documentation on using the Microsoft C/C++ extension under the C++ section of the VS Code website, where you'll find topics on:
Remote DevelopmentVS 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:
Enhance completions with AIGitHub 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, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, Go, C# and C++. You can learn more about how to get started with Copilot in the Copilot documentation. FeedbackIf 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.
