C/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.

Simplest C compiler for MACOs? Im teaching my brother basic programming (i know, C is far from basic but he wants to do arduino projects and it's the only language i know aside from ladder anyway).

Getting started

C/C++ compiler and debugger

The C/C++ extension does not include a C++ compiler or debugger. You will need to install these tools or use those already installed on your computer.

Popular C++ compilers are:

If you see a message in the Outbox folder, make sure your connection is working.The item is too old. Many email accounts are set up to only synchronize sent items for a certain period of time. The message could not be sent because it has unresolved recipients. error code -50. Search by using keywords used in the message or by using someone’s name. If the email message isn't sent successfully, for example because of connectivity problems or logon issues, it might be stuck in your Outbox folder. To narrow your search to a specific person or subject line, try typing To: or Subject.I can't find an item in my Sent Items folderThere are several reasons why an item might not appear in your Sent Items folder.The item hasn't been sent yet.

• GCC on Linux
• GCC via Mingw-w64 on Windows
• Microsoft C++ compiler on Windows
• Clang for XCode on macOS

Make sure your compiler executable is in your platform path so the extension can find it. You can check availability of your C++ tools by opening the Integrated Terminal (⌃` (Windows, Linux Ctrl+`)) in VS Code and try running the executable (for example g++ --help).

Remote Development

VS Code and the C++ extension support Remote Development allowing you to work over SSH on a remote machine or VM, inside a Docker container, or in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

It’s fast, secure and what else can I say? Teamviewer 6 for mac.

To install support for Remote Development:

1. Install the VS Code Remote Development Extension Pack.
2. If the remote source files are hosted in WSL, use the Remote - WSL extension.
3. If you are connecting to a remote machine with SSH, use the Remote - SSH extension.
4. If the remote source files are hosted in a container (for example, Docker), use the Remote - Containers extension.
