Visual Studio Code – How to Modify Code Runner's Default Command Line to Include g++ -std=c++11?

I recently tried running some code on VS Code but, as I’m using C++11 Standard code, I have to manually change the execution code in terminal to g++ -std=c++11 to actually run the code without errors.

I’m using Code Runner v0.11.8 by Jun Han

How can I set this option as the default?

    On this page there is a Configuration section in which you have example how to specify compilation for c language. Write your own for C++ with flags you need and I think that it will be enough.

    Follow below steps:

    • Open VsCode settings using CTRL+, or from left bottom side
    • click edit settings.json
    • add the following code snippet in the end: 
       {
   "code-runner.executorMap": {
       "cpp": "cd $dir && g++ -std=c++11 $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt && $dir$fileNameWithoutExt"
    }
 }

    & it’s done.

    NOTE: Make sure VsCode terminal profile is Command prompt.

    My setup:

    • I use this execution command, it also remove .exe file after execution of the program: 
        "code-runner.executorMap": {

// -lm flag for linking c file with libm (will enable use of math.h in VsCode)
    "c": "cd $dir && gcc $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt.exe -lm && $dir$fileNameWithoutExt.exe && del $dir$fileNameWithoutExt.exe ",
    "cpp":"cd $dir && g++ -std=c++17 $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt.exe && $fileNameWithoutExt.exe && del $dir$fileNameWithoutExt.exe",

},

    You can use any version like -std=c++14 or -std=c++17.

    Hope it helps
