How to compile using C 11 in VS Code-CodePudding

I am trying to use VS Code on Mac to run C code. I've used XCode before with no issue but am running into errors while trying to run this code. I am using the Microsoft C and CodeRunner extensions

#include <iostream>
#include <vector> 
#include <string>

using namespace std; 

int main () {
vector<string> names = {"Dan", "Sam", "Man"};  
vector<string> *name_ptr = &names;

cout << (*name_ptr).at(0);
 return 0;
}

I used Command Shift P to edit the Microsoft C/C Extension configurations and changed the C standard to "C 11." Doing this removed the error squiggles from the vector list but when I ran the code I still received the error:

"error: non-aggregate type 'vectorstd::__1::string' (aka 'vector<basic_string >') cannot be initialized with an initializer list"

I've tried using the advice from Error: non-aggregate type 'vector<int>' cannot be initialized with an initializer list but I am unsure how to pass the "g -std=c 11 myfile.cpp" argument to the compiler. I've tried putting that argument under compiler arguments in the C/C Extension configurations settings to no avail. I am not too familiar with how compilers so I am stuck here.

CodePudding user response：

The Extension configurations are just used to control how the vscode will check your code, but it will not control the real compiling. The CodeRunner has code-runner.executorMap in which you can set the argument.

p.s. I used to be puzzled by configuring the arguments and abandon. Now I just use a terminator to directly run the command. Maybe it will save time on handling a lot of configs that I will never use.

CodePudding user response：

I can't work with something such as vector, set, map, string... like you. I can not run my code on VSCODE if i use them, but in DevC, my code run normaly. T don't know how to handle with this problem T.T
