Description
Emacs, Vim or ... VScode? Launched publicly in 2016, Visual Studio Code has quickly become the preferred IDE among professional developers, with a 74% share among all IDEs based on StackOverflow's 2023 annual survey.
During this year, several efforts have been made in Meson, its VScode plugin and GStreamer itself resulting in a seamless user experience to hack on GStreamer with VSCode, whether it's in the C/C++ libraries and plugins or the Rust plugins. The VSCode integration with meson provides intellisense support, unit tests integration, debugging and much more, allowing to build and debug GStreamer with a single click of a button, even on Windows.
In this talk, we will start with a quick introduction to how Meson's Visual Studio Code integration works and a summary of all the efforts done to reach the current stage. The talk will continue by explaining how to set up and configure VScode to work on GStreamer for C/C++ and Rust and how to use the different integration features for development, testing and debugging. We will finish this talk with an example of its use in a demo application.
