how to change from c++98 to c++17 in vs code ??

[@DrGreenGiant]

Vscode isn't a compiler. You need to use something like clang or GCC and a version of that which supports c++17. In GCC the flag to set 17 mode would be --std=c++17

Great. Keep it up!

How to install c++20 on vscode

[@DrGreenGiant]

You don't install c++ on vscode. You install a compiler on your operating system. If you're on Ubuntu, for example, you'll have GCC already but you could install Clang as an alternative.

[@maciej_sliv]

SmoothType is deprecated and has been built into VSC

Where is c++20?

[@DrGreenGiant]

What do you mean?

[@loggyaltsen8191]

@@DrGreenGiant video title is embedded c++20. I expected to see c++20 in the code. I am trying to code c++20 on vs code but couldn’t do it and I wanna see how you do it.

[@DrGreenGiant]

@@loggyaltsen8191 it's in the compiler flags. I am still waiting on Espressif to upgrade the GCC version so we can use this. So until then, I am showing you how you best practices and things to think about when targeting embedded bare metal systems. Until the toolchain catches up that's all I can do. I was tempted to do this on ARM but the community wanted ESP. Hopefully IDF version 5 isn't far away
