This extension (marketplace link) is basically an automation of this SO answer from 10 years ago. It's probably a bad idea to use this thing.
- Automatically removes header files, keeps the ones necessary to compile!
- Will remove anything you ask it to! (Code! Comments! Documentation!)
- Remembers the previous command you used to build!
- As fast as your build times!
- Select some lines of text containing your includes
ctrl+shift+p
, select "Filter Includes" command- It will prompt you for a build command, e.g.
make
. - Press enter - don't touch anything! It will try removing includes.
- If it did break stuff,
ctrl+z
will work. - This uses your project as the current directory, so you might use
cd build && make
as your build command
