Editor to share with you how to set up the c language development environment in vscode, I believe most people don't know much about it, so share this article for your reference. I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article. Let's learn about it together.

Download and install MinGw

Because vscode under windows does not directly have compiling and debugging tools for C language, it is necessary to download MinGw that integrates tools such as gcc to provide extension support.

Choose any one (if you need to customize the installation of gcc-related modules, you can also choose to install install.exe online

Extract the folder to the directory that needs to be installed

Configure the system environment variable Path

Open my computer-Properties-Advanced system Settings-Advanced-Environment variables

Find the Path variable in the system variable, select Edit (if not, create), and add the bin folder directory under the directory after the previous mingw is decompressed. Note that windows 7 and previous versions need to be separated from the original value by English semicolons, and windows8 and above can be selected.

Or

Then find the include variable in the system variable (if not, create a new one, case-insensitive), edit, and add the include folder directory under the original mingw directory.

Modify vscode debug configuration file

Restart vscode, open the menu-debug-add an additional debugger. Find the "C _ install" + in the list on the left (search if you can't find it) and choose install installation (optional, recommended). Search code runner and choose install installation.

Check the following two items

Randomly specify a directory, create a new folder, create a new file, change the file name to a c code file with a .c suffix, return to vscode, select the menu-Open folder, select the folder you just created, click the newly created c code file in the left window, and write a simple C program at will.

At this point, click run in the upper right corner of the window, and you can see the running result of the program in the terminal below vscode.

Configure Candlestick + debuger

Create a new folder called .vscode under the previously created folder, create a new launch.json file, open it as notepad or vscode, and enter:

{"version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [{"name": "(gdb) Launch", / / configuration name, which will display "type": "cppdbg", / / configuration type in the drop-down menu of the startup configuration The request type can only be configured for cppdbg "request": "launch", / / Can be launch (startup) or attach (append) "program": "${workspaceFolder} / ${fileBasenameNoExtension} .exe", / / the path "args" of the program to be debugged: [], / / command line arguments passed to the program when debugging Generally set to empty "stopAtEntry": false, / / when set to true, the program will be paused at the entrance of the program, generally set to false "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}", / / the working directory when debugging the program Generally, ${workspaceFolder} is the directory where the code is located: "environment": [], "externalConsole": true, / / whether the console window is displayed when debugging. It is generally set to true to display the console "MIMode": "gdb", "miDebuggerPath": "D:\ Install\\ bin\\ gdb.exe", / / the path of miDebugger Note that the task to be executed before the start of the debugging session corresponds to "preLaunchTask": "gcc" to the path of MinGw, which is usually the compiler C++ is setupCommands, c is gcc "setupCommands": [{"description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb", "text": "- enable-pretty-printing" "ignoreFailures": true}]}]}

Notice here that "miDebuggerPath": "D:\\ Install\\ bin\\ gdb.exe" changes its value to the path of mingw\ bin\ gdb.exe extracted by itself.

Other settings can be modified on a case-by-case basis

Select menu-File-Open folder in vscode, open the folder under the newly created C code, and select the C code file corresponding to the menu on the left. You can choose menu-debug-start debugging (shortcut key F5)

The following window pops up

Select the second configuration Task

Enter in the open task.json file:

{"version": "2.0.0", "command": "args +", "args": ["- g", "${file}", "- o", "${fileBasenameNoExtension} .exe"], / / compilation command parameter "problemMatcher": {"owner": "cpp", "fileLocation": ["relative", "${workspaceFolder}"] "pattern": {"regexp": "^ (. *): (\\ d +): (\\ d +):\\ s + (warning | error):\\ s + (. *) $", "file": 1, "line": 2, "column": 3, "severity": 4, "message": 5}

After saving, go back to the original C code file, menu-debug-start debugging (shortcut key F5), you can successfully run the C program!
