How to Enable C++17 Support in VScode C++ Extension

How to enable C++17 support in VSCode C++ Extension

This has become much easier now. Search for cppstandard in your vs code extension settings and choose the version of C++ you want the extension to use from the drop down.

In order to make sure your debugger is using the same version, make sure you have something like this for your tasks.json, where the important lines are the --std and the line after that defines the version.

{
  "tasks": [
    {
      "type": "cppbuild",
      "label": "C/C++: g++ build active file",
      "command": "/usr/bin/g++",
      "args": [
        "-std=c++17",
        "-I",
        "${fileDirname}",
        "-g",
        "${fileDirname}/*.cpp",
        "-o",
        "${workspaceFolder}/out/${fileBasenameNoExtension}.o"
      ],
      "options": {
        "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
      },
      "problemMatcher": ["$gcc"],
      "group": {
        "kind": "build",
        "isDefault": true
      }
    }
  ],
  "version": "2.0.0"
}

Note that if you're copying the above tasks.json directly, you'll need to have a folder named out in your workspace root.

How to Setup VS Code For C++ 14 /C ++17

I added code runner and added this in settings.json Seems to work for me :D

},

How to enable c++17 on vscode(MAC)

Using two consecutive > to close out nested template declarations is not legal in C++98/03, but is legal in C++11 (and later).

Your command g++ filename.cpp is (presumably) defaulting to C++98, while when you try g++ -std=c++17 -g filename.cpp you are expressly indicating that you want to compile for C++17.

How to enable C++17 compiling in Visual Studio?

There's now a drop down (at least since VS 2017.3.5) where you can specifically select C++17. The available options are (under project > Properties > C/C++ > Language > C++ Language Standard)

• ISO C++14 Standard. msvc command line option: /std:c++14
• ISO C++17 Standard. msvc command line option: /std:c++17

Visual Studio 2022 (MSVC C++20 and the /std:c++20 Switch - C++ Team Blog):

• ISO C++20 Standard. msvc command line option: /std:c++20

Any Visual Studio:

• The latest draft standard. msvc command line option: /std:c++latest

vs code intellisense broken with c++17 explicit template deduction

Thanks for the comments. I didn't know that i had to set the cppstandard in vs code to c++17 manually.

Simply go to: File -> Preferences -> Settings,
search for: cppstandard,
set Cpp Standart to c++17
