Code Runner is, in essence, an extension that lets you quickly run scripts on single files.

Generate profile data for your QML applicationīefore we start digging into new settings, it is necessary to say a few words about another Visual Studio Code extension: Code Runner.

Work on single QML files by previewing them through qmlscene.

Quickly switch to Qt Creator for editing.

Enable syntax highlighting for Qt specific files.

This time, I will share a few tips and tricks to further integrate Qt into Visual Studio Code. In part 2 of this blog series, we walked through how to get a complete setup for your qmake and CMake projects, with a deeper look at the Qt side. Syntax rules in this extension are heavily influenced by better-cpp-syntax.Once again, the theme of the day is how to speed up Qt development with Visual Studio Code.

No option to choose the C++ standard to highlight.

User-defined suffix for string literals are not supported yet.

Support for toolchain-dependent pragmas and extensions are poor.Standalone uses should provide a poor highlighting experience. Please use this extension to complement a semantic highlighter such as clangd. Behaviors of both extensions may change in future versions.

The following examples show how this extension(right) is more robust compared to Better C++ Syntax(left), while retaining most highlightings with the help of clangd:Ĭaptured in Better C++ Syntax v1.15.13 and Minimal C++ Syntax v0.0.3. Some ill-formed programs may be colored incorrectly as well. Some bizarre but valid constructs such as keywords splitted by a backslash in two lines are not being colored correctly. Provides what the best that a syntax highlighter could offer and replace other state-of-the-art C++ syntax highlighters. To be used as a lightweight complement of a language-server-based semantic highligher like clangd-vscode. Syntax rules can catch up the latest C++ standard. Less corner cases that could break the syntax rules. Only to colorize a fraction of the C++ language has to offer. On this basis, this extension intends to provide only a basic set of syntax highlighting that complements a sementic highlighing provider, achieving: As the language server has more knowledge of the intrinsic structure of the source code, it could color the source code far more accurately. In most cases, however, a language server would be hooked up to parse the source code and recolor the majority of tokens with sementic highlighting, discarding whatever a syntax highlighter offers.

Because of the complexity of the C++ language, it is hard for a syntax highlighter to function correctly and accurately with regex matching.
