In the Debug Output tab, you see output that indicates the debugger is up and running.

This tutorial does not teach you about Clang or the C language.

For those subjects, there are many good resources available on the Web.

You can install the CC extension by searching for c in the Extensions view ( X (Windows, Linux CtrlShiftX ) ).

To verify that it is, open a macOS Terminal window and enter the following command.

As you go through the tutorial, you will create three files in a.vscode folder in the workspace.

Notice that your files are listed in the File Explorer view ( E (Windows, Linux CtrlShiftE ) ) in the side bar of VS Code.

You can find out more about the other views in the VS Code User Interface documentation.

You should immediately see a completion list that shows all the member functions, and a window that shows the type information for the msg object.

Then, when you add the opening parenthesis, youll see information about arguments that the function requires.

This task will invoke the Clang C compiler to create an executable file from the source code.

A dropdown will appear listing various predefined build tasks for the compilers that VS Code found on your machine.

Choose CC clang build active file to build the file that is currently displayed (active) in the editor.

In this case, clang is the driver that causes the Clang compiler to expect C code and link against the C standard library.

These arguments must be specified in the order expected by the compiler.

For clang, youll get the best results if you use the gcc problem matcher.

This property is for convenience only; if you set it to false, you can still build from the Terminal menu with Terminal Run Build Task.

After the task completes, the terminal shows output from the compiler that indicates whether the build succeeded or failed.

For a successful Clang build, the output looks something like this.

Run ls and you should now see the executable helloworld along with the debugging file ( helloworld.dSYM ).

You can also modify the output filename by replacing fileDirnamefileBasenameNoExtension with a hard-coded filename (for example workspaceFoldermyProgram.out ).

Here it is set to the active file folder fileDirname and active filename fileBasenameNoExtension, which if helloworld.cpp is the active file will be helloworld.

This is important because VS Code uses the active file to determine what you want to debug.

Before you start stepping through the source code, lets take a moment to notice several changes in the user interface.
