VS Code Clangd Setup

Fucking finally! A process that is repeatable to setup vscode with clangd!

  1. Install GCC via MSYS2. You'll need to add it to path: C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin
  2. It's pretty much works out of the box with VScode. You'll just need to click on the Run button and select the G++ compiler option
  3. Install the Clangd extension fully. Let it disable intellisense
  4. Navigate to C:\Users\<username_here>\AppData\Local and create a folder clangd and cd into it
  5. Inside create a file called config.yaml and pop in the following contents: 
    CompileFlags:
  Compiler: C:/msys64/ucrt64/bin/g++.exe
  Add: [-std=c++23, -Wall]
  6. Restart language server and voila!!! Hells yeah!
