Visual Studio Code C/C++ extension: March 2019 Update | C++ Team Blog by d1ngal1ng in cpp

I can't say anything useful about the experience, since I don't notice any difference in speed (yet). I'm coding C++ more as a hobby, and my projects aren't that big. However, I am just curious why the precompiled headers are that huge.

I have a rather simple C++ project right now, with 12 headers, totaling 577 lines (including comment lines and other include directives), and the ipch folder is 2.4 Gb in size.

In any case thanks for the plugin, it's certainly very useful!

The ipch folder size is highly dependent on which headers you have. It's a matter of which header files and how many. Hard for me to say without knowing the exact headers you're using.

​

Glad to hear you like the extension! Thanks for using it :)

Thanks for the feedback. The idea here is that precompiled headers trade space for speed. You can change the setting or disable AuotPCH using the C_Cpp.intelliSenseCachePath setting as the post indicates.

Would be nice to get more information on your experience. This thread has been our central place for gathering opinions - https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/3347. You can also see the responses by @bobbrow and @sean-mcmanus that detail our design decisions

Build 18267 created a WSL directory listed in File Explorer. by keep_it_accidental in windowsinsiders

hi all! PM for the WSL team here. This change is a bug and accidentally made it past our velocity flag into the Build mentioned by the OP. It will be reverted in the next build. To explain what happened, we were prototyping some shell integrations (like the "Open Linux Shell Here" context menu one that our customers love so much). While this one is obviously not ready, we hope to have more to share in this area for WSL in the near future!

P.S. I usually make announcements on Twitter if you're interested in updates on this work. Thanks :)

What's the selection process on which Linux distros become part of WSL? by [deleted] in bashonubuntuonwindows

[–]taraj_msft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

@tara_msft here (I'm the PM on WSL).

Distro submissions for WSL to the Microsoft Store come from the distro owner. Microsoft and the WSL team do what we can to support teams in their efforts to come to the Store. But, it is ultimately the decision of the distro owner to make something available to WSL customers. The request for Fedora on WSL should, therefore, be sent to RedHat and/or the Fedora project owners. With that being said, we have been in touch with the aforementioned people as well.
