Note that support for other compilers may be limited. These are reflected by the available IntelliSense modes from the extension's IntelliSense configuration. Here is a list of compilers and architectures per platform officially supported by the extension. You will need to install these tools or use those already installed on your computer. The C/C++ extension does not include a C++ compiler or debugger. VS Code is first and foremost an editor, and relies on command-line tools to do much of the development workflow.



Pre-requisitesĬ++ is a compiled language meaning your program's source code must be translated (compiled) before it can be run on your computer. The C/C++ extension adds language support for C/C++ to Visual Studio Code, including editing (IntelliSense) and debugging features.
