About C/C++ Config

VSCode C/C++ Config

Creates config files with pre-defined settings for modern C/C++ projects.

The following file will be created in the local .vscode folder, this might override the already present file:

• settings.json: Best default settings for C/C++, CMake etc. extensions

The following files will be created in the root directory, if they are not yet present*:

• .clang-format: Configuration for the formatting tool • .clang-tidy: Configuration for the static linting tool • .editorconfig: Standard editor settings (line-feed, insert new-line, etc.) • .gitattributes: Gives attributes to pathnames • .gitingore: Specifies intentionally untracked files to ignore

The following files will be created when the root dir contains a CMakeLists.txt, if they are not yet present*:

• .pre-commit-config.yaml • .cmake-format.yaml • tools/run-clang-format.py • tools/run-clang-tidy.py • .github/workflows/documentation.yaml • .github/workflows/macos.yaml • .github/workflows/pre-commit.yaml • .github/workflows/ubuntu.yaml • .github/workflows/windows.yaml

(*) If you still want to have them overridden, just delete them beforehand and execute the generate config files command again.

How to use

Just run the command:

• 'Generate C Config Files' • 'Generate C++ Config Files'

in VSCode's command palette (F1).

Settings

• ⚙️ Line Length: Max. line length for the clang format tool (defaults to 120, Global Setting) • ⚙️ Aggressive Settings: If auto formatting should be turned on (defaults to false, Global Setting)
