C++ Insights for Visual Studio Code (VSCode)
<!-- ## Introduction --> <!-- ## Features For example if there is an image subfolder under your extension project workspace: \!\[feature X\]\(images/feature-x.png\) > Tip: Many popular extensions utilize animations. This is an excellent way to show off your extension! We recommend short, focused animations that are easy to follow. -->Features
This extension allows you to view C++ Insights inside of vscode:
<p> <img src="image/show.png" alt="Show C++ insights" /> </p>or diff the Insights with your original source:
<p> <img src="image/diff.png" alt="Diff source with C++ insights" /> </p>The extension can utilize a compilation database/compile commands for easy use in existing environments. You can specify a directory containing the compilation database, aka the build directory, with vscode-cppinsights.buildDirectory.
If the active file is part of a workspace, and vscode-cppinsights.buildDirectoryPrioritizeCMake is set, the cmake.buildDirectory is used to determine the build directory.

Known Issues
Compiler Error on Windows
- Using Microsoft/Visual Studio STL with C++ Insights might report "#error STL1000: Unexpected compiler version". You can define _ALLOW_COMPILER_AND_STL_VERSION_MISMATCH (before any includes) as a workaround (C++ Insights Issue).
Formatting (vscode-cppinsights.format)
- Enabling the option disables the "preview" property of the output editor
- When using the
insightsDiffcommand, the output is not formatted like the original source
