C++ modules still not supported on VSCode, always pissed when I get notifications from this 5 y.o. thread [0].
Clangd-19 which is current stable has very good support for modules. The only issues I’ve encountered is with import std; which quite honestly is bleeding edge.
Your tooling (clangd+cmake) has to be pretty modern t those two are also the easiest to just upgrade since it’s dev time only. And obviously if it’s a discussion you have a C++20 compatible compiler. I’m happily using modules with gcc-14, clangd 19 and cmake 3.28 other than clangd 19 those are just packages you can install in Ubuntu 24.04 which is over a year old at this point.
And in VS could be much better, but EDG has other priorities.
VSCode isn't really that great option for C/C++.
I hate this a lot. It's gotten so bad the last couple of releases to the point that I try and use VS Code more in lieue of VS except debugging.
How they could let such fundamental functionality get broken is beyond me.
The only reasons I use VSCode are the plugins I cannot get on VS, like Powershell, Rust, Azure tooling, and for stuff like Next.js, better use an editor that is anyway a browser in disguise.
Performance has never been a part of my decision flowchart.
I keep both editors open, but VS is basically just there to hit the compile button and for the occasional debugging.
Better not having Resharper around.
Both available from the extension marketplace.
