Make sure your compiler executable is in your platform path ( %PATH on Windows, $PATH on Linux and macOS) so that the C/C++ extension can find it. Most Linux distributions have the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) installed and macOS users can get the Clang tools with Xcode. Some platforms, such as Linux or macOS, have a C++ compiler already installed.
Check with your instructors or colleagues for guidance on installing the recommended C++ toolset (compiler, debugger, project system, linter). There may already be a C++ compiler and debugger provided by your academic or work development environment. 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. Select the Extensions view icon on the Activity bar or use the keyboard shortcut ( ⇧⌘X (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+X)).Īfter you install the extension, when you open or create a *.cpp file, you will have syntax highlighting (colorization), smart completions and hovers (IntelliSense), and error checking.Ĭ++ is a compiled language meaning your program's source code must be translated (compiled) before it can be run on your computer.
Configure IntelliSense for cross-compilingĬ/C++ support for Visual Studio Code is provided by a Microsoft C/C++ extension to enable cross-platform C and C++ development on Windows, Linux, and macOS.However, this doesn't fix the issue for me - in fact, access to the Documents folder was already granted to Terminal a long time ago since I use Terminal daily. There's an issue in the C/C++ extension's GitHub issue tracker apparently about the same problem, and the suggested solution is to grant access to Terminal. Is there a way to go straight to a debug session without having to click OK on this message every time? This slow downs my workflow, and is cluttering the list of allowed apps inside System Preferences => Security & Privacy => Privacy => Files and Folders (which, strangely, won't let me delete files from the list - I'll ask a question about this in Ask Different later, but that's not the main issue: I want to get rid of this confirmation window altogether.) I have to click the OK button to proceed. The project folder lies in a path within the Documents folder on my home directory.Įvery time I try to debug my code, a confirmation window pops up with the message "" would like to access files in your Documents folder. I'm using Visual Studio Code with the C/C++ official extension from Microsoft to write C programs, running under macOS Catalina 10.15.3.
