Set Up C++ Development With Visual Studio Code on Windows 11 (VS Code) |VSCode C++Development Basics

In this video I am going to show, How to Set Up C++ Development With Visual Studio Code on Windows 11. We will use MinGW with VS code as our compiler and debugging tool. So First I will show How to install mingw. The we will see how to create, build and compile our first C++ Program on VScode.

With an updated VS Code you can do it in the following manner:

Hit (Ctrl+P) and type:

ext install cpptools

Type in your code and hit save.

Press (Ctrl+Shift+P and type, Configure task runner and then select other at the bottom of the list.

{
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"label": "build hello world",
"type": "shell",
"command": "g++",
"args": [
],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
}
}
]
}
Hit (Ctrl+Shift+B to run Build task. This will create the .obj and .exe files for the project.

For debugging the project, Hit F5 and select C++(Windows).

Below is an example using the MinGW GDB debugger:

{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "(gdb) Launch",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"environment": [],
"externalConsole": true,
"MIMode": "gdb",
"setupCommands": [
{
"description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
"text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
"ignoreFailures": true
}
],
"preLaunchTask": "build hello world"
}
]
}

Hit F5.
