How to Run C and C++ Programs on VS code? - visual-studio-code

As per my question, I want to compile & run c/c++ program directly from Visual Studio Code (vscode).
so is there anything like live server (like HTML) when I save file it gets compiled and runs automatically...

C++ support for Visual Studio Code is currently experimental. You may have look at this extension to accomplish what you ask.

NanoFramework VSCode - How to get started?

Maybe I am just missing something, but I don't get how to setup a blank solution in VSCode (Under Windows or Visual Studio, you are able to just create a new Blank NanoFramework Template, but how can I do that in VSCode :/). I would really like to work with the nanoframework instead of c/c++, but I don't know how to create a blank solution :(.
That option is not currently available.
The main goal of the VS Code extension is to allow (partially) folks on MAC or Linux to work with .NET nanoFramework.
It's not possible to debug on VS Code and you'll only have a full experience on Visual Studio. If you're on Windows, the recommendation is to use Visual Studio.

Is it possible to run Visual Studio Code commands from Markdown?

Is it possible to run Visual Studio Code commands from Markdown? I noticed that, for example [cpptools](vscode:extension/ms-vscode.cpptools) shows the extension's page. I wondered if executing a command from the command palette would also work, and if it is something of an URI.
It proved difficult to track down the documentation but in fact this is possible, see: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/140733
Say your command is referenced as pkg.command, then this URL in Markdown can be clicked to execute it:
[Run It](command:pkg.command)
This works out of the box in modern VSCode.
Link processing using protocol vscode for example [cpptools](vscode:extension/ms-vscode.cpptools) is performed only by Visual Studio Code. For now, it handles links if they point to extensions, but does not support link to commands. But the Visual Studio Code development team can add this if they see fit for the developers.
But, in my opinion, this functionality is not necessary.

How to configure Visual Studio Code to build a project with IAR compiler?

I want to use Visual Studio Code as my main IDE, but I want to compile my code with IAR's compiler.
How could I configure VSCode ?
I found this extension but the documentation is too poor.
Yes, the extension politoleo.iar is indeed NOT good.
-> I found a better one (will try it in future by myself):
VSCode plugin: pluyckx.iar-vsc
IAR For Visual Studio Code - Visual Studio Marketplace
Good document
Welcome to IAR-VSC’s documentation! — IAR-VSC 1.2 documentation
doc's Github source: pluyckx/iar-vsc
IAR related official Technical Note
Using Visual Studio Code with IAR Embedded Workbench
Enjoy it !
There are now two official IAR plugins for VSCode which make things much easier:
For building and development: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=iarsystems.iar-build
For debugging with C-Spy: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=iarsystems.iar-debug
https://www.iar.com/knowledge/support/technical-notes/general/using-visual-studio-code-with-iar-embedded-workbench/
What I did is setting some environment variables in settings.json;
then in tasks.json I created shell tasks that call the IarBuild.exe & IarIdePm.exe with appropriate values (see the documentation on the command line options)...
So now, I can use VSCode for navigation & editing, but the compilation is done by the EWARM.
The only thing that I haven't figure out yet is how to make C-Spy work from within VSCode...
Currently when I want to debug, I just launch the EWARM and debug from there...
here is a screenshot:Screenshot of settings.json and tasks.json
For this, you can port you project to the custom build system (non iarbuild), e.g. a best choose is the Qbs. The Qbs support a lot of architectures and the toolchains (include IAR, KEIL and so on). In this case you can then use any IDE which support the Qbs, e.g. such as VSCode or QtCreator, and to open your project in any of these IDEs.
Both IDEs support only the GDB debugging, because the C-Spy debuger is a proptietary technology, which has not the public datasheets.

Running IBM Rhapsody animations without Visual Studio

I am relatively new to Rational Rhapsody, and SysML in general, so the errors are likely to be at my end.
I have been scouring Google (and SOF) looking for ways to run Rhapsody animations without Visual Studio. It was my impression that if Rhapsody had access to another IDE, say Eclipse, then the other IDE could deal with the animations. Is this correct, or is VS absolutely required to run animations and debugging tools in Rhapsody?
I have been getting a similar error to that of the user in How to fix Rational Rhapsody error :"Current value is "VC11", but no Visual Studio installation was not found in the directory ""."; my error is "VC10." However, I do not have, or plan to have, Visual Studio run the animations; I'd rather have the animations run using Eclipse, but this is not working either (the same "VC10" error occurs).
I also chatted with a contact at IBM and he suggested trying cygwin as a compiler, but under my circumstances, I cannot download that software.
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
The Rhapsody workflow:
Rhapsody generates code from your model. (UML => C++)
To compile the code you need a compiler. Rhapsody does not have its own compiler. If you are on Windows, you can use the VS or cygwin compiler. (C++ => EXE)
If you have enabled the animation instrumentation for your application, then if you start the application, it will connect (using TCP/IP) to a running Rhapsody instance. The animation will run in Rhapsody.
... is VS absolutely required to run animations and debugging tools in Rhapsody?
A compiler (eg. VS or cygwin) is absolutely required to compile the code that has been generated by Rhapsody. Rhapsody is required if you want to see animated state-charts or sequence-diagrams while your application is running.
See also: configure Rhapsody 8.x to use the VS 2013 compiler.
There are many different questions. I try to give you some clarifications.
To run your Rhapsody model with animation you need Rhapsody and a compiler. The compiler could be Visual Studio compiler or Cygwin gcc. Those frameworks are already provided by Rhapsody.
Visual Studio or Eclipse you only need to edit your code. This can easily be done with right klick on your configuration and change it to the corresponding IDE.
I guess you question is related to the VS Version. In the properties of your configuration you must adjust your Visual Studio version. Search for property with VCxx content. Can't remember the exact name of the property at the moment.

How do I use MATLAB in Visual Studio 2010

Is there any way to write programs in MATLAB(mex files) by using Visual Studio 2010?
If yes, then is it possible without installing MATLAB application.
You can write MATLAB programs in any tool you like that includes a text editor, including Visual Studio or just Notepad.
But to run them you need MATLAB. There is a free package called Octave that is partly compatible with MATLAB and will run many basic MATLAB programs, but not all.
