1.14.3

Instructions

Install it via using the Extensions view in VS Code or download a vsix that matches your OS from Assets section below (or the "Download" dropdown in the "Version History" tab section on the Marketplace website) and then use the Extensions: 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 1.67.0 or later.

Changes

New Behavior

• The extension does not automatically query compilers that it cannot implicitly trust when configuring IntelliSense. This may impact the extension's ability to locate system headers. If the compiler you want us to emulate is not in the $PATH and you accidentally dismissed the notification asking you to confirm the compiler we found, run the C/C++: Select Default Compiler command to instruct the extension which compiler to emulate for IntelliSense.

New Features

• Add recursive macro expansion on hover. #3579
• Move status bar items to the language status UI. #8405
  • This may not be enabled for all users unless C_Cpp.experimentalFeatures is true.
• Add the 'Select Default Compiler' command that lets you choose a default compiler to configure IntelliSense. #10027

Enhancements

• Exclude rename results external to the workspace. #9235
• Add error messages for Create Declaration / Definition. #10163
