I installed Microsoft's C++ extension on VSCode, but when I'm writing C++ code,
my screen looks like this.
The autocompletion feature works, but there is no documentation/proper description given to me for any of the built-in C++ functions/classes. Compare the above to what it looks like on an official screenshot of the C++ VSCode extension.
I have my \msys64\mingw64\bin folder added to path too, so there shouldn't be a problem there. Any suggestions on how I can fix the tooltips my IDE gives me for C++?
This is code for a template which i am trying to inherit. This is not giving any error in programme but what these warning are trying to suggest
Basically, VSCode uses linters tools to analyze code errors. Linters can show the errors and warnings you see there.
If the installed linter doesn't support the syntax/wasn't written for this syntax, it will throw an error/warning. It's common to see those, and you can force-ignore them on VSCode Settings (More info here).
You can also change and set the linter by yourself on settings, or you can install an extension that does that for you.
In atom, when I write any code incorrectly I can view the errors immediately because the file is being scanned by a plugin.
I have the vs code plugin for c/c++ but I do not see this option to display errors. Is this available and I am just failing with my google skills? Or is this not an option with vs code?
The VSCode plugin for C++ does not support "intellisense" at the moment.
It supports debugging and some basic symbol parsing (with code completion) but it doesn't parse your code using a compiler.

In my C++ code vim shows red highlighted brackets in the following piece:
This is some in-built functionality as I tried removing .vimrc, but it still shows them red. What's going on and how to fix it?
Vim has only very limited C++ syntax highlighting capability built in. There is currently no support for C++11.
But there are, of course, plugins! Here's one that makes the error go away:
C++11 Syntax Support: A port of the existing C++ syntax to allow for C++11 features
To install, download the archive and extract the files into your ~/.vim/syntax directory. Enable the C++11 file type with :setf cpp11 or follow the instructions on the plugin home page.
I'm just beginning to learn programming (on C++ and Python), and by beginning I mean total beginning ("hello world" beginning...). Not wanting to use multiple IDE's, I would like to be able to code and build–simple–programs with my text editor, Sublime Text 2. Could someone indicate me, with a step-by-step tutorial, how to implement C++ and Python compiling and executing capabilities in Sublime Text.
I've searched Sublime Text build systems on the site, but the answers are very specific and can't help a rookie like me (but they'll probably help me later).
Thanks
Sublime Text 2 already comes with scripts for building and running Python and C++ programs.
Simply press Cmd+B (or Ctrl+B on Windows & Linux) when a .py or .cpp file is open. The Python file will automatically execute and show the result in the built in console.
For C++, you need to press Cmd+Shift+B (Ctrl+Shift+B on Windows & Linux) to run it after building.
You need to have Python installed (get it here for Windows), and also a C++ compiler. The build system for C++ tries to call g++ by default (get it here for Windows. Remember to select the C++ compiler when installing!).
You will need to add the directories to path (c:\python32\ or similar for python, c:\mingw\bin or similar for the C++ compiler).
On windows, you may experience problems running the C++ programs (it tries to use bash). But Ctrl+B builds the program, and you can then use a command line to run it. Python works flawlessly on Windows.
windows(install minigw, python2.7 and added to the system path)
cpp:
build: ctrl+b
run: ctrl+shift+b
python:
build and run: ctrl+b
you may try to learn the the .sublime-build files in your Tools -> Build system -> New build system
So, you don't want to use an IDE but then you want IDE features from a text editor? :)
Most people who use a text editor for writing code use terminal to build and run the code.
So, for C++, the instructions are:
make (or gcc myprogram.c)
./myprogram
for a Python program, it's even simpler:
python ./myprogram.py
If you're not comfortable with terminal, then you probably need an IDE.
for c++ I actually made sublime to produce colorful error messages which are easier to read and you can also click on the errors which takes you to the file with the error.
You can look at how I modified the build to do what I wanted in here
