1.22.9

[sean-mcmanus]

Instructions

The extension can be obtained by one of the methods below:

• Install the "C/C++" or "C/C++ Extension Pack" extension published by Microsoft from the Extensions view in VS Code.
• Download a vsix that matches your OS from 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).
• Download a vsix that matches your OS from the Assets section below (and install it via the method mentioned above). The previous download methods have the vsix signatures verified by the Marketplace, but for this method, you can do the verification by downloading the matching manifest and signature.p7s file and running npx @vscode/vsce@latest verify-signature -i <.vsix> -m <.signature.manifest> -s <.signature.p7s> vscode-vsce#1044.

Requirements

• VS Code 1.67.0 or later (April 2022).
• Windows 7+ (x64, arm64), macOS 10.12+, Linux (Ubuntu 16+, etc.).
