C/C++ Compound Words

It is very common for C/C++ code to contain word compound like errorcode and hashcode. The cpp-compound-words dictionary is designed to help avoid false positives. But, this can mean that valid errors are hidden due to the way compounds are combined.

The following configuration can be used to disable the compound dictionary:

languageSettings:
  languageId: 'c,cpp' # '*' can be used to disable it for all file types.
  dictionaries:
    - '!cpp-compound-words'
