What's New for C++ in VS Code: CMake Improvements and GitHub Copilot Agents - Alexandra Kemper - CppCon 2025
---
Join us for a deep dive into the latest advancements for C++ in Visual Studio Code, designed to help modern C++ developers tackle real-world challenges with a faster, smarter, and more customizable development environment. In this talk, we’ll showcase updates to the C++ extension and the CMake Tools extension, including performance improvements and new CMake language services that are now available in-house to provide rich language support for CMake files. Additionally, discover how GitHub Copilot support for C++ developers has evolved in the last year, including the new agent mode that can help you with complex, multi-step coding tasks. Whether you are maintaining legacy code or building for the future with C++, Copilot can help you write, build, and refactor your C++ code to streamline your development experience – all within VS Code.
