cpp

This configuration works both in Linux and Windows.

Just press F5 and it will work out of the box. It will compile the test.cpp using g++ and will debug your program with gdb.

Remember that the output of your program will be shown in the Debug Console tab of your integrated terminal.

In Windows, use MinGw to get g++ working.

Windows

Just download MinGw from here. Install it and once you get to the installation screen select g++ packages.

Remember to set the path into your environment variables:

C:\MinGW\bin

Tasks
