Mahkrab-vscode-extension

Visual-studio-code extension to create "compile and run" ("CAR") commands for any C file, whilst linking the required dependencies, to prevent typing out flags each time when needing to run multiple different C files.

How it works:

• Reads the current active file from vscode.
• Checks whether file is C language.
• If file has changes from last file read:

• File will be read for dependencies which are recognised in the extensions library (will be updated over time).

• Any dependencies that are found by the extension will then be linked to the "CAR" command.
• extension then links with the "Code Runner" extension to configure the "code-runner.executorMap" in the user's settings.json file:

    "code-runner.executorMap": {
        "c": "cd $dir && mkdir -p build && gcc $fileName -o build/$fileNameWithoutExt -lncurses && ./build/$fileNameWithoutExt"
    }

• Now, when user presses the run button (top right), or the shortcut, usually ctrl + option + N, the current C file will be run with the dependencies needed added to the "CAR" command.
