Can gcc be integrated in VS Code as a default compiler/debugger?

Yeah. If on windows you just have to install something like MiniGW to get gcc to run under windows and then VS Code will detect the compilers.
It doesn't work as well with WSL, but there's an extension for that which I haven't used and seems like work.

I should add, there are subtle differences between MSVC and GCC in the way they generate function returns (and possibly other things)
One side effect of this, is calling DirectX or GDI+ functions can lead to crashing with GCC. You have to modify a system header to make it work, but you can do so in a non-destructive manner. I won't get into it here, because it's a lot of stuff, but if you ever run into that situation let me know and I'll give you the deets.

Which hopefully even you use very seldom.
I have been doing code generation since the 80's (or perhaps early 90s?)
I have done it in many languages. Mostly one shot but sometimes even as part of the build.
No need to do it as you describe though. There is enough complexity in what I do.

It's primarily about optimizing but because of the way it works you must design for it.
If it serves the design, I'll use it. For example, my graphics library supports arbitrary binary footprints and representations for pixels. The only way to compute the shifts to get at the individual channels efficiently is to do so during compile time.
One of the places I hated using it, but it was really the only way, is building execution chains, similar to a SQL execution plan except at compile time, to spit graphics at a display or another draw destination in the way that most efficient for it. At runtime, even computing that would have not been worth any savings you'd pick up downstream.

You're not even talking in terms of an "option". "Time is pressing": use two browser tabs.

Better to ask ChatGPT:
ChatGPT, have you thought of registering in CodeProject to help people debug?
This may be more effective and doesn't require any development.

So the number of "how do I debug my code (that I'm not going to show you)" questions go down, and the number of "how do I get ChatGPT to debug my code (that I'm not going to show you)" go up?

I haven't used it. What's ChatGPT's response to "Plz send codez URGENT!"? 
|
|
|
|

ChatGPT is what ALL people will use for urgent code please requests. ChatGPT does not give you negative feedback like "we are not going to do the work for you" or "try Google". Help forums will not be used much in the near future.

As Microsoft is killing their wiki tool, what do you guys are using to document what needs to be documented? Google gives me a lot of options, but I'm not familiar with any of them. Do you know some software that just works? I need something simple - just indexing, three structure, text search and preferably web based.

I use Gatsby to generate HTML from markup, and then I check the markup in under /docs as part of my source tree.
Here's what it looks like:

It has a selectable dark/light option too.
