docker-gcc

Dockerfile for development with gcc, intended for development in C and C++

Description

Designed for development with Devcontainer or via CLI Docker commands to bind-mount source code.

Base image

debian:bullseye-slim

Additional packages

• build-essential(gcc, g++, make, etc.)
• clangd
• gdb
• git

Note In addition, my dotfiles are included in the layers of the image.

Usage

Build image

docker build -t s3igo/gcc .

Run container

docker run --rm -it s3igo/gcc

Example

Note In the following, the $ prompt represents the host shell, the # prompt represents the container shell, and the > symbol represents the VS Code command palette.

Using with CLI

1. Start container
   $ docker compose -f example/compose.yaml run --rm gcc

2. Compile and run the C source code with gcc
   # gcc hello.c -o hello && ./hello

Using with Devcontainer

1. Open the example project in VS Code
   $ code example

2. Select Reopen in Container from the command palette
   > Dev Containers: Reopen in Container

3. Open and run the VS Code terminal or use the Code Runner extension
   # gcc hello.c -o hello && ./hello or > Run Code

This method allows using the clang-format with VS Code's clangd extension or debugging with gdb.
