    What you’re using is Code – OSS and not VSCode; they’re built from almost the same source except for the telemetry and the part that handles the marketplace (the latter being a proprietary component by Microsoft). As far as I know it’s not possible to have VSCode’s Marketplace working for another editor. Code – OSS relies on Open VSX Registry.

    Kamen’s answer explains it pretty well. However, there is a workaround. You can go to the browser marketplace and search for the C/C++ Extension Pack. On the right, under "Resources", there is a "Download Extension" link. It will download a vsix file which you can install in Code by searching for Extensions: Install from VSIX... in the command palette (ctrl + shift + p).
