Installing C++ supportĬ++ language support is an optional install from the Marketplace. If you just want a lightweight tool to edit your C++ files VS Code has you covered wherever you are, but if you want the best possible experience for your existing Visual C++ projects or debugging on Windows, we recommend you use a version of Visual Studio such as Visual Studio Community.īecause we're still shaping the C++ experience in VS Code, now is a great time to provide bug reports, feature requests, and feedback, and for those of you who use Linux or OS X as your development environment to get engaged with the Visual Studio team. Our focus in this preview release is code editing and navigation support for C and C++ code everywhere that VS Code runs, as well as debugging on Linux (Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit is supported other versions of Linux might work, but are unsupported) and OS X (see Known limitations below). C/C++ support for Visual Studio Code is provided today as a preview of our work to enable cross-platform C and C++ development using VS Code on Windows, Linux, and OS X.
