The usual VS Code experience:
- I'd like to see struct sizes as tooltips, kinda miss that from Rider
- Yes we can, just use clangd!
- <Installs clangd extension>
- I need compile_commands.json, cmake can do it for you!
- <trying to find the setting, it's on, billion questions on the net why it does not work on windows>
- Yes, it does not work on windows, you need to use some other build system!
- <finds 10 page blog post about enabling ninja builds>
- <picks pen, paper, and calculator...>
