有了更新的VS Code，你可以用以下方式做到这一点:

点击(Ctrl+P)并输入:

ext install cpptools

打开一个文件夹(Ctrl+K & Ctrl+O)，并在文件夹中创建一个扩展名为.cpp的新文件(例如:hello.cpp): 输入代码并点击保存。 点击(Ctrl+Shift+P和类型，配置任务运行器，然后选择在列表底部的其他。 在同一个文件夹中创建一个名为build.bat的批处理文件，并在文件主体中包含以下代码:

@echo off
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x64     
set compilerflags=/Od /Zi /EHsc
set linkerflags=/OUT:hello.exe
cl.exe %compilerflags% hello.cpp /link %linkerflags%

编辑任务。Json文件，保存如下:

{
    // See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
    // for the documentation about the tasks.json format
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "command": "build.bat",
    "isShellCommand": true,
    //"args": ["Hello World"],
    "showOutput": "always"
}

点击(Ctrl+Shift+B运行构建任务。这将为项目创建.obj和.exe文件。 要调试项目，请按F5并选择c++ (Windows)。 在发射。Json文件，编辑以下行并保存文件:

"program": "${workspaceRoot}/hello.exe",

按F5。

C/ c++ VS Code c_cpp_properties。json模板

这里的基本问题是构建和链接c++程序在很大程度上依赖于所使用的构建系统。你将需要支持以下不同的任务，使用一些插件和自定义代码的组合:

General C++ language support for the editor. This is usually done using ms-vscode.cpptools, which most people expect to also handle a lot of other stuff, like build support. Let me save you some time: it doesn't. However, you will probably want it anyway. Build, clean, and rebuild tasks. This is where your choice of build system becomes a huge deal. You will find plugins for things like CMake and Autoconf (god help you), but if you're using something like Meson and Ninja, you are going to have to write some helper scripts, and configure a custom "tasks.json" file to handle these. Microsoft has totally changed everything about that file over the last few versions, right down to what it is supposed to be called and the places (yes, placeS) it can go, to say nothing of completely changing the format. Worse, they've SORT OF kept backward compatibility, to be sure to use the "version" key to specify which variant you want. See details here:

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks

.．.但注意冲突:

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/cpp

警告:在下面所有的答案中，任何以“version”标签低于2.0.0开头的内容都是过时的。

这是我目前能找到的最接近的东西。请注意，我把大部分繁重的工作都交给了脚本，这并没有给我提供任何我可以接受的菜单项，如果不在这里显式地添加另外三个条目，就没有任何好的方法来选择调试和发布。综上所述，以下是我可以容忍的.vscode/任务。Json文件:

Note that, in theory, this file is supposed to work if you put it in the workspace root, so that you aren't stuck checking files in hidden directories (.vscode) into your revision control system. I have yet to see that actually work; test it, but if it fails, put it in .vscode. Either way, the IDE will bitch if it isn't there anyway. (Yes, at the moment, this means I have been forced to check .vscode into subversion, which I'm not happy about.) Note that my build scripts (not shown) simply create (or recreate) a DEBUG directory using, in my case, meson, and build inside it (using, in my case, ninja).

运行、调试、附加、停止。这些是另一组任务，定义在“launch.json”中。至少以前是这样。微软把文档搞得一团糟，我甚至都不确定了。

你可以在Visual Studio Code的2.0.0版本任务中引用这个最新的要点，https://gist.github.com/akanshgulati/56b4d469523ec0acd9f6f59918a9e454

您可以轻松地编译和运行每个文件，而无需更新任务。它是通用的，并且还为输入项打开终端。

出于对缺乏清晰文件的失望， 我在github上创建了一个Mac项目，应该可以工作(构建和调试):

vscode-mac-c-example

注意，它需要XCode和VSCode Microsoft cpptools扩展。

我计划在Windows和linux上做同样的事情(除非微软先写了像样的文档…)
