I have the following problem that when I debug my project in Visual Studio Code, all outputs are shown in the debug console. But i want it in the terminal window or output window. How can i change that? I already tried so much by editing the launch.json tasks.json and c_cpp_properties.json or using extensions. The bigger problem is that I dont get the full output in the Debug Console, some outputs are missing. I downloaded the MinGW64 Compiler Version "g++ (MinGW.org GCC-6.3.0-1) 6.3.0".
With the command "g++ -o ..." everything works and I get the output on the console, but i want to use F5 or ctrl+F5 in Visual studio Code and not manually write "g++ -o ..." (or arrow up key) everytime I wanna debug.
(main.cpp)
#include <iostream>
#include "includes/calculations.h"
using namespace std;
int hi(string message)
{
cout << message << endl;
}
int main()
{
cout << add(1, 2) << endl;
cout << sub(1, 2) << endl;
output_message("HI");
hi("-");
return 0;
}
(calculations.h)
#include <iostream>
int add(int, int);
int sub(int, int);
void output_message(std::string);
(calculations.cpp)
#include <iostream>
int add(int x, int y)
{
return x + y;
}
int sub(int x, int y)
{
return x - y;
}
void output_message(std::string message)
{
std::cout << message << std::endl;
}

(Debug Console Output. Output from hi("-") and cout << sub(1,2) is missing)
solved it by uninstalling MinGW and installing it via Msys2
