Visual Studio Code

For intellisense, Golem supports the Microsoft C/C++ Extension through a golem configure option:

• --vscode

  Generates .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json, which refers to compile_commands.json files found in build/golem/vscode/. Golem generates files for each target and the point of view from which the intellisense shows results can be selected from the bottom right in VSCode.

  Sets .vscode/cache/.browse.VC.db as path to store symbols

The files are generated when running golem build.

For a very fast intellisense, we recommend using clangd’s extension, which Golem supports too.
