C++ Extension Pack #81

Closed jamesjuett closed 1 year ago

jamesjuett commented 1 year ago

Our current VS Code setup has students install ms-vscode.cpptools-extension-pack. As far as I'm aware it's not necessary, and it also includes some random things they don't need and shouldn't use, like the CMake extension.

AFAIK its needed to intellisense. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

jamesjuett commented 1 year ago

The regular C/C++ extension, i.e. ms-vscode.cpptools includes Intellisense.

The extension "pack" is a bundle that includes the regular C/C++ extension plus some other extensions:

C/C++, i.e. ms-vscode.cpptools
C/C++ Themes, i.e. ms-vscode.cpptools-themes
CMake, i.e. twxs.cmake
CMake Tools, i.e. ms-vscode.cmake-tools

Can confirm that this is correct. Here's what I have:

$ code --list-extensions
ms-vscode.cpptools
vadimcn.vscode-lldb

With the ms-vscode extension disabled, intellisense is gone. With it enabled, I have intellisense.
