### VS Code (on Windows)

Install MSYS2 to get GNU toolchain with g++ and gdb (<https://www.msys2.org/>).
Create a `settings.json` file in the `.vscode` folder with the following content (adjust path as necessary):

```json
{
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\msys64\\usr\\bin\\bash.exe",
"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows": [
"--login",
],
"terminal.integrated.env.windows": {
"CHERE_INVOKING": "1",
"MSYSTEM": "MINGW64",
}
}
```
### VS Code

Run `make` in the terminal to build Cppcheck.

For debugging create a `launch.json` file in the `.vscode` folder with the following content, which covers configuration for debugging Cppcheck and `misra.py`:

```json
