C/C++ for Visual Studio Code
Repository | Issues | Documentation | Code Samples
The C/C++ extension adds language support for C/C++ to Visual Studio Code, including editing (IntelliSense) and debugging features.
Pre-requisites
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 use those already installed on your computer.
- C++ compiler pre-installed
- C++ debugger pre-installed
Here is a list of compilers and architectures per platform officially supported by the extension. These are reflected by the available IntelliSense modes from the extension's IntelliSense configuration. Note that support for other compilers may be limited.
| Platform | Compilers | Architectures |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | MSVC, Clang, GCC | x64, x86, arm64, arm |
| Linux | Clang, GCC | x64, x86, arm64, arm |
| macOS | Clang, GCC | x64, x86, arm64 |
