On November 17, Microsoft released vscode 1.18. Version 1 (The 1.17 orange icon is finally changed) Official website address

Well, that's all for the update information about the software. You can see the brief introduction of the software Previous vscode blog posts

How to build C/C++development environment with vscode

1、 Install the C language compilation environment gcc

1.1 Linux/Mac operating system comes with gcc/g++compiler, which does not need to be installed

1.2 The C/C++compiler for Windows can download a mingw

Mingw download address

1.2.2 Configure gcc/g++Environment Variables

In fact, Mingw installer will automatically add environment variables, but I still write environment variables for content integrity

2、 Install vscode and get familiar with some shortcut keys

2.1 Familiarize yourself with shortcut keys

Shortcut key combination 1: Ctrl+`<Open/close system shell command line>

Shortcut key combination 2: Ctrl+Shift+P<Open vscode command line>

Shortcut key combination 3: Alt+left mouse button<Edit multiple lines at the same time>

There is no shortcut key combination 4, because the landlord really only knows the above three

2.2 Personal preference configuration

Use the shortcut key Ctrl+Shift+P to enter the vscode command board (Command Palette)

First, change your vscode language to English

Someone on Zhihu said that the language preference is Chinese, which may cause errors in the vscode command board (meaning that only Chinese commands can be typed)

Continue on the vscode command board, enter preference to enter the configuration file (a file in json format)

Then configure it according to personal preferences, such as whether the tab indent is two or four spaces, UI color and theme, etc

3、 Write C++code

3.1 Create a new. cpp file, open the terminal window, and use the cd command to switch to the file path

3.2 Write a small program to save it. It is recommended to use Ctrl+S skillfully

3.3 Press Ctr to the command line, compile and run the code in the terminal window

Powershell

g++ test.cpp -o test ; ./test

There is a problem with this command. If the compilation command on the left side of the semicolon reports an error, it will still run on the right side of the branch

cmd

g++ test.cpp -o test && test

Bash Shell(Linux)/Mac OS terminal

[code language=”bash”]
g++ test.cpp -o && ./test
[/code]

3.4 Repeat the operations in 3.2 and 3.3 to quickly modify the operation procedure

The following GIF demonstrates how to modify the output result of the program (the second run, the output result has an extra line of 'c.cpp')

The last thing I want to say
