How to prepare/configure development environment for C++ projects in Visual Code Editor?

问题

I'm working with JavaScript projects using nodejs and visual code editor. I wonder is it possible to configure such a great code editor for C++ projects.

I want to link the debugger and make some hotkeys for building the debug/release versions of project.

Is it possible for C++ projects and what should I do/read for it?

This is currently not possible until there is a public extension API available. I expect it to come in November or December this year.

You can do it right now if there is only one project you want to compile in your workspace. This is how to do it:

Open the root folder of your project in VSCode (this is your workspace)
Place a batch/shell script in the workspace that accepts a parameter with a value of release/debug and compiles the project in release or debug mode depending on the passed parameter value
In case there is no .vscode directory in the workspace then create it on your own

Add a file tasks.json to that folder having this content:

{
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "command": "${workspaceRoot}/CompileProject.bat",
  "tasks": [
     {
          "taskName": "Compile debug build",
          "args": [
            "debug" 
          ],
          "isTestCommand": true            
     },
     {
          "taskName": "Compile release build",
          "args": [
            "release" 
          ],
          "isBuildCommand": true            
     }         
  ]
}

You can trigger Compile debug build with CTRL + Shift + T and Compile release build with CTRL + Shift + B.

You can change the keybindings by going to File -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts and define your preferred shortcuts for the commands workbench.action.tasks.test and workbench.action.tasks.build. Example:

[
    { "key": "f5",          "command": "workbench.action.tasks.test" },
    { "key": "f6",          "command": "workbench.action.tasks.build" } 
]

回答2:

Use the following in the tasks.json file, changing "helloworld" strings as appropriate.

// Available variables which can be used inside of strings.
// ${workspaceRoot}: the root folder of the team
// ${file}: the current opened file
// ${fileBasename}: the current opened file's basename
// ${fileDirname}: the current opened file's dirname
// ${fileExtname}: the current opened file's extension
// ${cwd}: the current working directory of the spawned process

{
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "command": "gcc",
    "args": ["-Wall", "helloWorld.c", "-o", "helloWorld"],
    "problemMatcher": {
        "owner": "cpp",
        "fileLocation": ["relative", "${workspaceRoot}"],
        "pattern": {
            "regexp": "^(.*):(\\d+):(\\d+):\\s+(warning|error):\\s+(.*)$",
            "file": 1,
            "line": 2,
            "column": 3,
            "severity": 4,
            "message": 5
        }
    }
}

EDIT: This requires gcc to be available on the path. The build can be triggered with Ctrl + shift + b. Debugger is not available yet AFAIK
