DCR for Visual Studio Code

Live integration of DCR (Cargo-inspired C/C++ build tool) with VS Code + clangd.

Features

Auto-sync .dcr/compile_commands.json when dcr.toml, dcr.lock, or sources change
Tasks: build / run / clean via Task API + GCC-style problem matcher
Debug: program and debugger type from .dcr/build-info.json + .dcr/toolchain.json (no path heuristics)
Commands: New Project, Add Dependency, Regenerate, Show Output
Locales: English + Russian (package.nls*.json + runtime UI strings)
Schema: JSON Schema for dcr.toml (with Even Better TOML)

Requirements

dcr ≥ 0.8.4 (.dcr/ layout, gen compile-commands -q, project-info)
Extension dependency: vscode-clangd
Recommended: Even Better TOML, CodeLLDB or MS C/C++ (debugger only)

Settings

Setting	Default	Description
`dcr.path`	`""`	Path to `dcr` binary (empty = PATH)
`dcr.autoSync`	`true`	Watch files and regenerate compile DB
`dcr.syncDebounceMs`	`750`	Debounce before gen
`dcr.minVersion`	`0.8.4`	Warn if older dcr

Commands

DCR: Build / Build (Release) / Run / Clean
DCR: New Project / Add Dependency
DCR: Regenerate IDE Config
DCR: Show Output

Contract with dcr

See backend handoff: extension reads .dcr/*, never invents target/<triple>/… paths.

.dcr/compile_commands.json
.dcr/build-info.json      → debug program
.dcr/toolchain.json       → debugger type
.dcr/ide/vscode.lock      → written by this extension
.clangd                   → CompilationDatabase: .dcr

Develop

cd dcr-vscode
npm install
npm run compile
# F5 in VS Code / Cursor against Extension Development Host
npx vsce package   # → dcr-0.1.0.vsix
