I was doing a little bit of work on my c file when I accidentally turned off the setting which underlines problems. I'm a C novice so this tab is extremely helpful for me to figure out what I did wrong.
My question is what setting turns on error squigglies for C code. An important thing to note is that every other language I program in, the problems show up. So I'm 100% certain that it's language specific.
Thanks in advance.
In the workspace settings json file, you can add the following line.
"C_Cpp.errorSquiggles": "Enabled"
That will show the squiggles for both C and C++ files.
This link is an useful overview on changing the settings. You will find the language specific editor settings there as well.
Update! For anyone who is dealing with this hassle here are the four steps I followed. First do what @P.W suggested with the error squigglies.
Secondly, uninstall VSCode.
Next, go to %appdata% and delete the Code folder
Finally, reinstall VSCode.
Hopefully, those steps will solve this problem for anyone who has been looking.
In your working folder, you can also see a .vscode folder. Find settings.json and open it. Find the following line:
C_Cpp.errorSquiggles": "Disabled",
Replace the text Disabled with Enabled, and turn your Problem Checker On.
It is a very common problem and the answer is very simple:
step 1 : Go to your working folder through file explorer.
step 2 : Find the folder .vscode and open it.
step 3 : Find settings.json and open it.
step 4 : look for "C_Cpp.errorSquiggles":"Disabled",
step 5 : Replace the text Disabled with Enabled and save the file.
