Hey,
I'm new to the Linux kernel development, and I wanted to set up a VSCode environment for navigating the code (I know, even though people tell me Vim is better but currently I'm really not comfortable with it yet). My main goal is just navigating and understanding. I've been able to make a lot work, and using the C/C++ extension from Microsoft I have good IntelliSense.
Just don't install stock C/C++ extension. This extension can't handle the kernel, so every time you press 'go to definition' button you will get "hey, there are 20 references, one of them is 100% definition, so go ahead and find it yourself". That's why I moved to vim + ctags. It saves my time a lot. I saw, that there are other c extensions and people say they are a way better, but I didn't give them a try Good luck!
