What's New in Visual Studio Code - Remote Dev, IntelliSense, Build/Debug...

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Visual Studio Code shows concrete C++ advances: the C/C++ extension adds build and debug active file that detects CL or GCC, writes tasks/launch JSON, and runs a breakpointed demo; an experimental semantic colorization theme maps types; IntelliSense caching precompiles headers and claims about 4x improvement in reopen times; remote development uses WSL (Ubuntu 18.04 demo with GCC), SSH, and containers; vcpkg integration currently copies install commands with an upcoming vcpkg install flow to auto-add headers.
