Visual Studio Code is Microsoft’s open source code editor that shares part of a name, but not much else, with full Visual Studio. It is open source under a MIT license and development has been conducted on GitHub.
CMake is an open-source, cross-platform tool that uses compiler and platform independent configuration files to generate native build tool files specific to your compiler and platform. The CMake Tools extension integrates VS Code and CMake so developers can configure, build, and debug projects.
The first improvement of note is the ability to filter the Project Outline view. The developers say that navigating through large CMake projects with many nested targets can sometimes be difficult. The Project Outline view has been updated to have filtering and bookmarking support, making it easier to manage your CMake targets.
A new bookmark option can be used to bookmark commonly used CMake targets so they appear in a dedicated Bookmarks section in the CMake sidebar. This is intended to provide quick access to targets you build, debug, or run most often, without having to repeatedly search through the full project hierarchy.
This release also improves the CTest experience by adding support for configurable failure patterns. With the new Failure Patterns setting, you can tell CMake Tools how to interpret test output so failures surface more useful and structured information.
The Public API has been improved in this release to provide more information about CMakePresets, and an output parser has been added to parse include-what-you-use output to generate warning and note diagnostics about missing or superfluous #includes and forward declarations.
Visual Studio Code CMake Tools 1.22 is available now.
