A simple extension for Visual Studio Code snippets for the C programming language.

C Snippets

This extension provides a simple set of VSCode snippets for the C programming language. Can be found here on the Visual Studio Marketplace.

List of snippets:

Snippet Description	Snippet Input	Snippet Code
Starter Template	sst	#include <stdio.h> int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {    return 0; }
Starter template with stlib.h	libsst	#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {    return 0; }
Conditionals and loops
If statement	if	if (expression) {    /* code here */ }
Else if statement	elif	elseif (expression) {    /* code here */ }
Else statement	else	else {    /* code here */ }
For loop	for	for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {    /* code here */ }
While loop	while	while (expression) {    /* code here */ }
Do...while loop	dowhile	do {    /* code here */ } while (expression)
Header file include guard	ig	#ifndef {transformed_file_name} #define {transformed_file_name} // Code for header body #endif {transformed_file_name}
Linked lists
Linked list template	clist	typedef struct _node * Link; typedef struct _node node; struct _node {    int value;    Link next; };
Functions
Create int function	intfunc	int func_name () {    int x;    return x; }
Create float function	flfunc	float func_name () {    float x;    return x; }
Create string function	strfunc	char[] func_name () {    char[] x = {};    return x; }
Create long function	longfunc	long func_name () {    long x;    return x; }
Create definition for virtual table	vtdef	typedef struct {ClassName}{ struct {ClassNameVT}* vt; }; typedef struct {ClassNameVT} { // Virtual Table Function definitions } ${virtualTable Name}; int {ClassNameInit}(struct {ClassName} *self); int {ClassNameDestroy}(struct {ClassName} **self);
Create function for virtual table	vtfunc	{ReturnType} (*{FunctionName})(struct {ClassName} *self)
Print statements
Print variable of type float (2 decimal places)	pflo	printf("var_name :>> %.2f\n", var_name);
Print variable of type int	pint	printf("var_name :>> %d\n", var_name);
Print variable of type char	pcha	printf("var_name :>> %c\n", var_name);
Print variable of type pointer	ppoint	printf("var_name :>> %p\n", (void *) var_name);
Print variable of type size_t	psiz	printf("var_name :>> %zu\n", var_name);
Memory Allocation
Allocate memory using calloc	cal	{type} ptr = ({type})calloc(, sizeof({type})); if (ptr == NULL) {    printf("Memory allocation failed!\n");    exit(0); } free(ptr);
