vscode-cpptools | Official repository for the Microsoft C

I'm using VSCode (1.52.1) for a while on my Fedora 33 machine. I'm using Docker extension (v1.9.0) but for some reason, in the past few days when I'm trying to attach the VSCode to the Docker container, it failed to resolve the workspace folder.

I've tried to reinstall VSCode and the Docker extension but it did not help

I think this issue is related

Screenshot:

As you can see, the files explorer does not show any files, instead, it shows a hash-like string.

Following the instructions in: https://nadiah.org/2020/03/01/example-debug-mixed-python-c-in-visual-studio-code/

I ran into a strange error. In step five it reads:

In the terminal, VS Code will tell you that superuser access is required to attach to a process. Type in Y and enter the root password.

However I can't type 'Y' since an extra line is added when I am asked if I want to continue as a super user. See image:

My launch.json is:

I have configured my task.json and c_cpp_properties.json so that I may compile my main.cpp program. In order to proceed, I must press

at the moment I am using a windows machine and wanted to try out windows subsystem for linux(wsl) for c++ development. Visual studio code(vsc) provides a neat extension for working on the subsystem that works quite well. One thing I could not get to work yet is getting vsc to include header files that are located inside the subsystem.

I know that I can manually add new paths to include in ´c_cpp_properties.json´ but I do not know any of the paths to point from windows into the subsystems /usr/include(as an example). I found some resources (wsl include paths) but could not get it to work anyway. I also tried generating the paths myself as described in the gitlab issue but that did not help either.

Anyone got some experience setting up vsc with wsl for c++ projects who would be able to help me?

While working on an embedded project, I noticed that sprintf() method for the following code:

I have a quite complex bash script on Linux which prepares all the structures and parameters in turn fed to a Python command. However, I would like to use the Visual Studio debugger on this Python command while running it inside the bash script.

Is this possible? How can I start a debug session from the bash script?

P.S.: I've found out a similar issue for C++ https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/3502#issuecomment-48637124

So I've been using VS Code for a while now and I noticed that for some reason it started having extra snippets which I did not make come up in options, while they are useful I would like to edit them to my personal code formatting style.

I've tried looking for the json file which holds them however I am unable to locate it anywhere. I figured it would be in my install directory however the cpp.json file there simply defines the #pragma region snippet only.

For reference I looked in this location: C:\Users\Rietty\AppData\Local\Programs\VSCode\resources\app\extensions\cpp\snippets

A difference to show the two snippets is like so: and my user defined one which is marked with a user snippet next to the description.

I also got many new for loops and so on and so forth:

Where can I find the location of these new snippets so I can edit them to my standards/formatting style?

Update:

I spent a decent bit looking this up and it seems the reason for this is due to the VSCode CPP Tools extension. Recent changes indicate that this occurred due to moving snippets to the hard-coded lexer from the relevant json file and that it is currently intended.

However an issue was already filed and is hopefully slated to be fixed sometime February 2019.

I have read the guide, and as far as I understand it I should be able to set the type in launch.json to cppvsdbg but this shows up greyed out, I'm guessing that indicates some kind of error? Then when I actually click debug I get this error:

I'd like to debug the C DLL quickfuncs.dll, compiled with -g (debug symbols) by MinGW64, in VSCode. This DLL is used by C# DLL (also compiled with debug symbols), which is runned by: "C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe" exec "D:\Server\bin\Debug\netcoreapp2.0\Server.dll" Parameter1=test

I've configured launch.json based on https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/blob/master/launch.md
