“What's new in Visual Studio Code for C++ development”
summary
Visual Studio Code adds concrete C++ features: out‑of‑box IntelliSense for workspace headers, recursive includePath (glob search) and compilerPath autodetection to pull system defines/includes, semantic autocomplete for locals/globals, and #include completion. It supports CMake and compile_commands.json via a configuration‑provider API, and integrates VCpkg so installed libs feed IntelliSense; demos use Box2D and Bullet3, fix green squiggles, and show an SDL2 triangle built and run successfully. Also adds inactive‑region colorization, Just My Code symbol search, and multi‑root settings.
