Vscode-C-Cpp-Runner

Version 1.4.1: September 20, 2021

• Bugfix: Fixed big for deactivation event with Makefile projects.

Version 1.4.0: September 18, 2021

• Improvement: Updated activation/deactivation logic with the previously called keybinding toggleStatusBar which is now called toggleExtensionState. By this command, you can de-/activate the extension for the current workspace. If the extension is deactivated, the setting/properties/launch files won't be re-created on delete.
• Improvement: In a workspace with multiple sub-directories, and hence the active folder is not selected on start-up, the settings and properties files are created once the active folder is selected. This speeds up the start-up time for vscode with this extension activated and makes no difference in the usage of this extension.
• Improvement: Added command to reset local settings and properties file
• Bugfix: Fixed issue for Windows PowerShell users with the experimental setting. Now the CMD is also used to execute the tasks even if the PowerShell is the default terminal.

Version 1.3.0: August 28, 2021

• Improvement: Update gcc/clang search logic, to only search in /usr/ and /usr/bin/ on linux, and only in paths containing cygwin, mingw or msys on windows
• Improvement: If the build path contains whitespaces or non-extended ascii chars the extension's experimental code runner is used instead of Makefile
• Bugfix: Fixed using incorrect compiler path in experimental setting

Version 1.2.0: August 25, 2021

• Feature: Added pretty print for gdb in debug (launch) configuration

Version 1.1.5: August 16, 2021

• Fixed problem with empty arguments for executing the binary on windows with mingw compiler

Version 1.1.4: August 15, 2021

• Fixed problem with Linker Args
• Updated README

Version 1.1.3: July 27, 2021

• Fixed problem with Makefile in .vscode folder (regarding my Udemy Courses setup)

Version 1.1.2: July 26, 2021

• Updated run task for windows such that the executable name has .exe file extension since this is needed for MinGW
• Fixed bug that debugging the release build was not possible

Version 1.1.1: July 26, 2021

• Issue: Creating and deleting build folder is now executed by the extension code and not anymore by the Makefile

Version 1.1.0: July 24, 2021

• Added experimental setting to run compiler commands without Makefile

Version 1.0.2: July 9, 2021

• Fixed bug for compiler search on Linux and Mac

Version 1.0.1: July 4, 2021

• Added information message if a path has whitespaces. Makefile can not work with paths/filenames with whitespaces properly.

Version 1.0.0: July 3, 2021

• Following settings are now array of strings instead of strings:
  • C_Cpp_runner.warnings
  • C_Cpp_runner.includePaths
  • C_Cpp_runner.compilerArgs
  • C_Cpp_runner.linkerArgs

So for example previously we used:

{
  "C_Cpp_Runner.warnings": "-Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic"
}

This would now be:

{
  "C_Cpp_Runner.warnings": [
    "-Wall",
    "-Wextra",
    "-Wpedantic"
  ]
}

• All settings are now stored to the local .vscode/settings.json file

Version 0.17.1: June 16, 2021

• Improvement: Added option for glob patterns to exclude from the selected folder search
• Bugfix: Bugfix for configuration triplet

Version 0.16.0: June 12, 2021

• Improvement: Updating c_cpp_properties.json and launch.json do trigger an update for settings.json. Hence, the user can edit any of these files and all other files are updated accordingly.
• Improvement: Updated compiler search on windows, to speed-up the process.
• Info: Added some unit tests. Will be extended in the future.
• Bugfix: Several bug fixes

Version 0.15.0: June 7, 2021

• Info: If settings/properties were configured e.g. windows and the project is opened in for example Linux, the commands (compiler, etc.) are searched again and stored in the settings.json/c_cpp_properties.json file
• Bugfix: Fixed extension crash

Version 0.14.2: June 3, 2021

• Info: When using cygwin64 the intellisense triplet is changed to "linux" due to the following issue.

Version 0.14.1: June 1, 2021

• Important Info: Removed ctrl+rshift+r keybinding for the tasks dropdown menu. If the user does not want to use the status bar items, the commands can be executed from the command palette.
• Info: Removed extension activation "onDebugResolve:c/cpp" since the debugging is not triggered by the user anyway.
• Info: Removed extension activation "workspaceContains:.vscode/c_cpp_properties.json" since this may result in extension activations where the user does not intend to use c/cpp code.

Version 0.13.0: May 19, 2021

• Improvement: Selected folder path is shortened in the status bar.
• Improvement: Remove x86/x64 architecture from build mode. The user should rather select an appropriate x86 or x64 compiler in the settings.
• Improvement: Default c and cpp standard is now the compiler's default.
• Improvement: Improved look-up performance for installed software.

Version 0.12.1: May 10, 2021
