AFAIK its needed to intellisense. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
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:
ms-vscode.cpptools
ms-vscode.cpptools-themes
twxs.cmake
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.
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.
