Red squiggles do not appear in VS2008 - c++

I am using VS2008 pro and while autocomplete works properly I get that problem. My project is in visual c++/MFC and advanced settings are there for C#, but not for C/C++ as you can see below in order to enable them.
I figured out that it may be Intellisense that does not work properly, so have tried to clean my solution file and deleted .ncb and rebuild my project as others suggest, but without success. I have tried to create other projects, and the problem insists.
Finally, as an alternative I have found that I can use Virtual Assist, but this is the last choice for me.
So, how could I make red squiggles work again?

#error "BX_CONFIG_DEBUG must be defined in build script!" on Visual Studio, BGFX

I am using Visual Studio 2022.
I would like to build a project using BJFX.
It is my first BGFX project but I have some issues in the first stage.
I have this error message in the console #error "BX_CONFIG_DEBUG must be defined in build script!".
What is the build script? How can I define this so call BX_CONFIG_DEBUG script or whatever that is?
To be fair, I don't even understang the issue, except that something isn't properly defined.
Does anyone know the issue and how to fix it?
At first, I thought it was an issue occurring from the installation of Visual Studio.
I tried re-installing Visual Studio but it didn't work.
I have looked for a solution on many forums and Youtube but nothing worked for me.
The messaage you are seeing is being emmited by the BGFX headers telling you that you need to define BG_CONFIG_DEBUG. By Build Script this means however you build your code (In this case using VS2022).
I'm going to presume that you're using the GUI.
In the Solution Explorer, right click your app name and select Properties
Now open Configuration Properties->C/C++->Preprocessor:
Here you will find Preprocessor definitions add BX_CONFIG_DEBUG (each value seperated by the ; symbol.
Save settings. Thats it.

VSCode does not show errors before building

I use VSCode(code editor, not IDE) for C++ with only Microsoft's C++ extension and today I have encountered a problem here. When I write the wrong syntax, the "PROBLEMS" panel does not show errors. It only shows errors on building the code. Earlier that wasn't the case. How do I fix this ?
Before building:
After building:
I got that error by Disable error squiggles. If you don't reach that error in my case, don't read anymore.
After ignoring, I got your problem:
To fix this, open settings.json file:
Scroll to the end, then set "C_Cpp.errorSquiggles": from Disabled to Enabled.
After reading the question, and the comments, my understanding is that you want Visual Studio Code to tell you when you make a mistake on the sintax, without having to compile the project.
What could be wrong is your C++ IntelliSense, which is odd because it comes in bundle with the C/C++ extension from Microsoft. The extension itself might be disabled, corrupted during an aborted update, or uninstalled.
Have you tried the good old and helpful uninstall and reinstall the extension? That normally fixes my problems with extensions in Visual Studio and VS Code
Note: You have to install the extension first: C/C++ IntelliSense, debugging, and code browsing extension
This is because the C/C++ IntelliSense, debugging, and code browsing extension does not know about the current project.
Navigate to View | Command Palette, enter and select C/C++ Build and debug active file: Select
Project, and then select the correct project that you want to work with.
This will help you see the problems as you create your code without requiring you to run it.
The extension has to know that it is allowed to continuously check your code.
I hope this helps you in the future with other extensions too...
Try and close your current folder and open a different folder. Then come back to your original folder. This worked for me.

visual studio code showing wrong autocomplete suggestions in c++

I am trying to learn SDL in C++ So auto-complete is very essential for me.VS code was working fine with SFML but due to android problems I started learning SDL and now auto-completions for SDL is not working correctly . It always suggest some wrong members ,even If I didn't include any library . I don't have enough experience with VS . I came to VS from neovim only for auto completions which not working properly :(
I had tried restring ,updating and deleting .vscode dir but nothing happened
Hover your cursor on the header file mentioned in the source code
You'll notice a red/green swiggly underline
A light bulb icon appears, click on it
select the option called "edit includepath setting"
It takes you to a new "c_cpp_properties.json"
In this json file, under your platform, add all the paths to the headerfiles
After doing this, most of the unwanted intellisense results disappear. Only releavent ones show up the top.
VS code is a very good tool which comes with source control features. Add C++ extension and a debugger and you are good to go.

VS2015: Error List doesn't get cleared on new build

There are more than one C++ projects in a solution. Lets compile A, which will fail, and will have errors reported in Error List view. Now compile B (assume A is dependent on B), which will succeed. But, the errors rendered by compiling A doesn't go away.
Anyone encountered such issue? How to enable clearing the error-list view on each build (the way it is working for years). The Output window, however is clean on each new build.
Do you have 'Build Only' or 'Build + Intellisense' selected in the combo box? Many of my errors like this actually come from Intellisense (and tend to be bogus).
I currently have a similar problem with VS2015. I have a solution with c++ and c# wpf projects. Clean checkout, full build, no errors in Output but hundreds of errors appear in Error List. It reminds me of problems with earlier versions of VS back than the only fix was to close all open files but this time this is not helping either. In my case deleting the .suo file helped. See this for reference VS freaks out.
(edit) I read that Xamarin could cause the problem but uninstalling it and also uninstalling all the other addons delivered with VS2015 did not fix the problem. After a clean checkout and full build I got all the errors again.
On Visual Studio 2019, simply closing and restarting the application got rid of the warnings.

Intellisense suddenly stops working or shows lot of inconsistency in VS2008

I am using VS2008 for my VC++ coding.
I observe lots of inconsistency (Sometimes intellisense works fine & sometimes it suddenly stops working) wrt intellisense.
And sometimes intellisense stops all of a sudden. And manily for vector in VC++ i see it doesnt work at all.
I am really bugged of VS2008 (I feel VS2005 was simply superb compared to VS2008 user interface). VS 2008 is too bugging.
Can anyone kindly help me in getting rid of this error & make intellisense working fine.
You can delete the .ncb file to force it to rebuild the intellisense you have to close the solution if you want to do this, reopen the solution after deleting, or you can purchase Visual AssistX which is what I use at home and work.
The other thing is that they have rewritten intellisense as of VS2010 so it uses SQL to store the DB and improve the performance.
I know this is not much comfort to you but intellisense is notoriously annoying.
