IntelliSense and Code Completion makes coding so much easier: it is *the* reason why to use an IDE like Visual Studio Code.Linux operating systems mostly comes with GCC preinstalled. Visual Studio Code comes with a powerful IntelliSense engine which is easily configured using a JSON file. What makes it nice too is its awareness for Doxygen documentation in the sources: Summary You can press and then use the mouse to jump to a location: press, move the mouse over it and click.Īnother nice thing is the ‘sneak’ preview: keep pressed and move the mouse around to see a preview of that implementation: Sneak PreviewĪnother tip is to use : it will select a ‘best match’ from the list of proposals. You can verify this with the context menu on a standard library include (Context menu > Peek > Definition): Peek DefinitionĬode Completion and IntelliSense in general is triggered by +: Code Completion With this IntelliSense is able to find the correct header files and definitions with the toolchain used. ‘gcc-arm’ is considered legacy, but not sure what to use otherwise for ARM? cStandard and cppStandard: the C and C++ standard to be used.compilerPath: path to the compiler executable.forcedInclude: if using the -include compiler option, make sure you list that file here.defines: list all the extra defines which shall be considered.The ‘**’ notation means it will search recursively that folder
It automatically will use the ones located in the toolchain (compiler) installation.
So instead using the wizard above simply create the file and copy-paste the template below: /src/IncludeMcuLibConfig.h"], vscode/c_cpp_properties.json file inside the project. In the following UI all the settings can be configured: With the Microsoft C/C++ Extension there is a graphical (UI) configuration utility. If you are unfamiliar what IntelliSense does, check out SetupĪs everything else, the Indexer in Visual Studio Code is using a JSON configuration file. The Eclipse IDE has a similar feature with the ‘ Indexer‘, but imho the one in Visual Studio Code is not only easier to setup but more powerful.
The powerful IntelliSense in Visual Studio Code is probably *the* feature in Visual Studio Code.
This one is about setting up IntelliSense for Cross Development in Visual Studio Code which allows for browsing symbols or code completion: Code Completion in Visual Studio Outline The previous parts were about installation, project setup, building, debugging and setting up a kit.
