How to Create STM32 C++ project in STM32 VS Code?

I am able to create C++ project in STM32CubeIDE, like so:

However, I can't find a way to do the same in STM32 VS Code. Is there such a feature in VS Code for STM32?

@kaosad,

Considering STM32CubeIDE for Visual Studio Code solution, no C/C++ concerns to get.
This solution relies on CMake as build system. Related toolchain file is both C and C++ capable. CMake is then managing the stuff properly for you taking care based on file extensions (.c or .cpp).

Let's start from empty project without any worries here:

By default main.c template is promoted. Just rename it to main.cpp and update CMakeLists.txt reference in sync. It will work !
