C++ Include Manager

Description

This Visual Studio Code extension, named C++ Include Manager, simplifies the management of include paths in your C++ projects. It reads from /.vscode/IncMan.json file and updates the /.vscode/settings.json file with the specified include paths.

Features

• Automatically updates include paths based on the IncMan.json configuration.
• Supports both standardized library paths eg C:/Libraries/${lib}/include and explicit library paths eg C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenAL 1.1 SDK\include.

Installation

1. Install the extension from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
2. Reload or restart Visual Studio Code to activate the extension.

Usage

Note: This extension only overwrites the C_Cpp.default.includePath section of the settings.json, all other settings will remain unchanged.

1. Create an IncMan.json file in your project's .vscode directory.
2. Configure the extension by updating the libraryPath setting in your Visual Studio Code settings.
3. Define standardized and explicit library inlclude paths in the IncMan.json file.

{
    "standardized-libraries":["lib1", "lib2"],
    "explicit-libraries":["path/to/ext_lib1", "path/to/ext_lib2"]
}

4. The extension will automatically update the settings.json file when the IncMan.json file changes.
