C++ in VS Code: A Quick Guide

[@o.d71]

I think it's somewhat ironic that a Microsoft employee uses a Mac, especially while some Windows users here are complaining that this tutorial doesn't work for them. don't you think?

[@stefanoabrigo]

Ok, it would be nice to get a walkthrough on how to include a 3rd party library and create a project of multiple cpp files.

[@AlexandraKemper]

That's a great idea, for our next video we can pick up where we left off from this video and make a slightly bigger project. Is there anything else you would like to see or have explained?

[@stefanoabrigo]

Thank you for the reply, maybe an explanation on how to setup lauch.json for those kind of projects? I usually use the Cmake extension and run the projects from that but a basic undertsanding of how to setup launch.json would be nice. If I get some other ideas on what to ask i will do it in the next videos.@@AlexandraKemper

[@lilmnm616]

Why does everyone at microsoft do vscode videos on a mac?

[@taxevader86]

lol

[@nuvotion-live]

Because they want you to use proprietary Visual Studio if you've already bought their proprietary operating system.

[@Rich_YTS]

i dont have the option to install a compiler. only gcc and g++

[@HalfBadMC]

This happened to me too, on the right there are a few instructions to download one

[@prasenjitgiri919]

i have enjoyed the pace at which you speak. I will try to incorporate that in work life.

[@pruthvirajhm]

Haa they solved the biggest problem of all time. Thanks for coming up with this 🎉

[@ziadwael3009]

it solved me alot of things , really really thank you❤

[@beauty_of_islam86]

Please make an amazing playlist on c++

[@AlexandraKemper]

We are working on it! Is there anything specific you would like to see in these videos? Helpful C++ features to know about? How to use Copilot for C++?

[@charlessam6611]

Can you do one for vs code on windows please 🙏

[@AtulPayashi]

Mam please solve the problem of visual studio code when I am pressing and it says every time that n,n is not a command

[@RutgherPruijm]

When I try to do the 'open walkthrough' part, VS doesn't seem to have this on W11?

[@SbDaBoy]

it does

[@JasperBerends-r4t]

Care to elaborate where we can find this then @SbDaBoy ? because using ctrl+p and typing "open walkthrough" doesnt return any results for me

[@gregferencko2323]

yes -- I have the same problem @@JasperBerends-r4t

[@ViralGreek]

ctrl + shift + p for windows!

[@voxeledphoton]

you may have forgot the >

[@Amir-gi5fn]

It just installs multiple apps and downloading 1.5 gig just for a single compiler

[@exploringgodscountry]

I cannot get any of these tutorials to work. I'm following built in steps with the extension as well as your video. Visual Code is not behaving in the same manner as you show. For instance typing "Open" doesn't result in any findings in the command pallet. I have installed a C++ compiler. The cl.exe one which automatically installed when I modified my Visual Code installation per another tutorial you have for visual code. However, I cannot link the compiler to Visual Code. So I have no way to build a project. It seems many of your tutorials are outdated and or incongruent. It's leaving me quite confused...

[@CrusadeVoyager]

Quick setup fr C++, up and running, Nice ❤

[@meninnik]

какая нахер быстрая

[@7_of_9]

Nice! Now let's code for dummies I have zero expectations

[@TheUIArchitect]

What's the best course to start learning again C++?

[@pepperpatty2446]

From what I've seen there aren't any good ones online. Your best bet is on books. The Deitel ones are classics. Also "Computing Concepts with C++ Essencials" and "C++ Primer",

[@No-0ne-is-Alone]

learncpp website. I started from scratch with no prior coding experience and I have been having a blast. The site is free and teaches you everything from scratch.

[@nothingisreal6345]

Theses video are extremly helpful!

[@trajectory-g7c]

Watch Out Folks!! 0:53 Windows OS, ( It's not Ctrl+P !!! ) It's Ctrl+Shift+P

[@pranavkeshav20]

I'm running on Mac, everything is fine except one really annoying issue. Every time, I debug/run any cpp file, the mac's privacy and security window pops up and I have to press allow every single time. For example, I have a C++codes folder in my Documents folder and I have sample.cpp in this C++codes folder (along with all the required json files). Every time I debug/run the sample.cpp from VScode app, it pops a message that "sample would like to access files in your Documents folder". I get 2 options - Allow and Don't allow. This message does not come if I compile from terminal though, but I prefer to compile/run from VScode app; that was the whole purpose of installing it. I can also build on VS code and then run on in-built terminal without any permissions message, so I guess it's an issue arising from running debugger perhaps?

[@Alberto_Cavalcante]

Can I follow the same steps for Windows?

[@anonymusplayer3031]

You think 😂 no you install mingw then you configure path variables and then you use code runner and you should be up and running

[@JustinShaedo]

@@anonymusplayer3031just reinforcing what's said here: this MS made instructions for a MS program won't work in the MS environment. I spent awhile trying to get it working, then just followed another tutorial.

[@nuvotion-live]

This is not a good look, Microsoft. Let me correct this video title for you: "C++ in VS Code on Mac" If you're on Microsoft Windows, you have to install MINGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows, implementation of GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)), add it to your system environment variables. May have to restart your computer. Edit your user preferences to change the default shell. So on and so forth. You should rename this video and save Microsoft Windows users confusion when setting up their C++ environments. Or is this just meant to funnel people to proprietary Visual Studio? This type of stuff is PLATFORM-SPECIFIC!

[@dennistang6459]

A perfect Mac is the one installed with a Linux OS.

[@bla4224]

There is no "open walkthrough" - outdated video?

[@ngwebdev]

Thank you )

[@juanmacias5922]

The Code Runner extension compiles with g++ (at least in Linux), and runs C++ without any setup. xD

[@JasperBerends-r4t]

There is no "Open Walkthrough" option for me

[@JasperBerends-r4t]

On windows it is ctrl+SHIFT+p for the command pallet.

[@DesiBoy-m8o]

You may have forgotten the > at first..

[@Dmytro_L]

If you are responsible for cpp integration, you failed miserably. I had to configure launch.json step by step and it's pain

[@sonnichjensen]

Why is the text fuzzy? I do not get the place to set configuration in my version of VS Studio? What is the speed key for toggling breakpoints?

[@Netryon]

Can't use special symbols here so it's my only option I wonder why if it's not some web input form. I could say it's is same getting started problem as Docker, which is now in every career requirement and all I want is to run it alone not with a team. This is cruel - half of students won't pass exam and this is a language for games, but don't need it if there is no game jam game/example made with blueprints. There is some tools css javascript processors you only heard about it and need it more than Opengl and Vulcan 3:06. So I think where do I find a terrain and where would I add it's tiled texture and here it's in some hidden terrain paint settings with normal maps which I know everything about. This was new and introduced with latest frameworks 4:07, but learning that again as project specific settings which is only learned by practicing it - I don't what to spend a day figuring out what that line of code does or why that version don't compile.

[@Ti13wyldcard]

are there any equivalent for the c language?

[@code]

Can you clarify your question? Equivalent what?

[@__hannibaalbarca__]

I have problem with installing Boost library in macOS with VScode, and final i switch to tmux and NeoVim is better we need more how to configure package, and …

[@deliciousfood6991]

that Didn't work with me! is there no one extension that do all the work to run & compile codes!!!

[@juanmacias5922]

The Code Runner extension does.

I'm not able to enter my password in terminal

[@AlexandraKemper]

Are you seeing the same terminal message as in the video? Is it stating that your password is incorrect? Or just that your keyboard is not letting you type?

[@larafathy9610]

my keyboard is not letting me write what should I do? @@AlexandraKemper

[@nhanNguyen-wo8fy]

0:45 Cpp walk through

[@etzmannschnappuleck1181]

Typically MS, doesn't work the way it should!

[@kennethhawkins5943]

This "tutorial" is mostly useless. If you are doing actual development, your project will consist of multiple files and multiple build targets. At the very least you will have a debug build and a release build. How do you set up dependencies, multiple build targets, control obj output, pre-compiled headers, etc.

[@shimantonahid5398]

Great help for windows user… nnsns 😑🌵

Some one really use light theme in vs code 😅???

It was the recommended video format ... my eyes were almost blinded by the brightness while recording 😆
