Instructions

To use the "offline" .vsix (that doesn't download OS-based dependencies on extension activation), download the .vsix that matches your OS and run the "Install from VSIX" command in VS Code (don't double-click the .vsix or another app like VS might try to open it incorrectly).

Requirements

  • VS Code 1.60.0 or later.

Changes

New Features

  • Add multi-threaded code analysis (using clang-tidy) based on the IntelliSense configuration. It defaults to using up to half the cores, but it can be changed via the C_Cpp.codeAnalysis.maxConcurrentThreads setting. #2908.

Enhancements

  • The maximum number of threads to use for Find All References can be configured with the C_Cpp.references.maxConcurrentThreads settings. #4036.
  • The IntelliSense processes launched to confirm references during Find All References can be cached via the C_Cpp.references.maxCachedProcesses setting. #4038
  • The maximum number of IntelliSense processes can be configured with the C_Cpp.intelliSense.maxCachedProcesses setting, and the number of processes will automatically decrease when the free memory becomes < 256 MB and it can be configured to use less memory via the maxMemory settings (memory usage from code analysis is not handled yet). #4811
  • Add a compiler arg to the generated gcc build task to display colored text. PR #8165
  • Add static and other modifiers to IntelliSense hover results. #8173
  • Add a configuration warning when the default compiler modifies an explicitly set intelliSenseMode.

Bug Fixes

  • Fix newlines not being handled in comments with a Doxygen tag. #5741
  • Fix files.exclude not working for directories external to the active workspace folder. #6877
  • Fix a bug with vcFormat inserting additional spaces between } and else. #7731
  • Fix string elements to render as code in the IntelliSense configuration UI. PR #8271
  • Fix IntelliSense process crash on AMD Ryzen 3000 series processors without updated drivers. #8312
  • Fix bug with wmic not being recognized during Windows attach debugging. #8328
  • Fix Go to Type Definition on pointer types. #8337
  • Fix MS extensions not being enabled by default for Cygwin. #8353
  • Fix a "Cannot read property" error during deactivation if the language service wasn't fully activated. #8354
  • Fix an issue in which the language id for header files were not updated to match the source file of its TU. #8381
  • Fix parsing of bit_cast with gcc mode IntelliSense. #8434
  • Fix an issue in which multiple (potentially different) diagnostics were delivered for headers shared by multiple TUs.

Other

Known Issues

  • Inactive regions don't appear as inactive. #8478
  • CUDA support stopped working. #8481
  • If code analysis is running, saving of header files can fail if clang-tidy is using the header file from a TU that is different from the "default" one chosen by IntelliSense. The workaround is to click the flame icon and choose "Cancel clang-tidy" (or if that fails, kill the clang-tidy processes). #8473
  • C_Cpp.codeAnalysis.maxConcurrentThreads incorrectly has a max of half of C_Cpp.maxConcurrentThreads (instead of just using that as the default). #8471
  • There are some other "known" issues with the "code analysis" feature that are being tracked internally.
