Developing with Visual Studio Code

Developing with Visual Studio Code

NOTE: These steps are up-to-date for Mac OSX users, Windows users might need some other plugins.

With the transition to native CMake builds, usage with Visual Studio Code works nearly natively. There are some plugins needed however:

Extensions

C/C++ Extension Pack

Extension ID: ms-vscode.cpptools-extension-pack

Code LLDB

Extension ID: vadimcn.vscode-lldb

You will need this extension in to allow debugging on Mac OSX. Use this with the launch.json configuration below.

The following is in my launch.json

launch.json
