Vaiaksh CP Runner is a lightning-fast competitive programming runner for Visual Studio Code, built specifically for C++, Java, and Python. It provides an integrated side panel with custom input boxes, live output rendering, memory/time tracking, and built-in Time Limit Exceeded (TLE) protection.
Features
Multi-Language Support: Seamlessly compiles and executes C++ (g++), Java (javac/java), and Python (python3).
Interactive Side Panel UI: Opens a dedicated split-view panel displaying separate Input and Output boxes.
TLE Protection: Automatically terminates infinite loops or long-running executions based on a configurable time limit, complete with warnings and status notifications.
Execution Metrics: Displays execution time in milliseconds, peak memory consumption in MB, and process exit codes.
Performance Optimized: Built-in output truncation to safely handle massive or infinite streams without freezing or lagging the VS Code editor.
Requirements
Ensure the corresponding compiler/interpreter runtimes are installed and added to your system's PATH:
C++: GCC / MinGW (g++)
Java: Java Development Kit (JDK)
Python: Python 3.x
Extension Settings
This extension contributes the following settings under the vaiaksh-cp-runner configuration namespace:
vaiaksh-cp-runner.panelWidth: Percentage of screen width the CP Runner UI side panel should occupy (default: 30, min: 10, max: 90).
vaiaksh-cp-runner.timeout: Maximum execution time in milliseconds before automatically terminating the process for TLE protection (default: 5000).
Keyboard Shortcuts
Run Code: Ctrl + Enter (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Enter (macOS) while focused on an editor.
Open Panel: Ctrl + Shift + C (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Shift + C (macOS).
Known Issues
On Linux/macOS, peak memory tracking relies on /usr/bin/time. If unavailable, it seamlessly falls back to direct execution mode.
