Use Resharper with the C language in Visual Studio?-CodePudding

I recently started studying at university which granted me a student license for all JetBrains products. I thought it would be an excellent chance to try Resharper for C# and C . I am now taking a course in C.

From what I searched online, Visual Studio can work with C code. However, it seems that Resharper is only meant for C as it suggests warnings that only make sense in C . For example, if I use something like #define N 5, Resharper suggests I use constexpr instead, which doesn't exist in C as far as I am aware.

Also, there are no options for Code Editing menu for C in Resharper's settings window, only for C . This means I can't configure separate naming conventions for C and C for example. For example, I like the convention of ALL_CAPS for enum constants in C, since they live in the global namespace. In C , however, I can use enum class so enum constants live in the enum's namespace and I can be more flexible and use PascalCase for instance.

Is there a way to configure Resharper to work with C? Or at least configure it not to display inspections specific for C in C files?

ReSharper supports the C language. When a file uses C, C -specific code checks should get disabled in that file. If you see C -specific suggestions in a C file, file an issue or let JetBrains know via "ReSharper | Help | Report a bug".

It does not make a lot of sense to add separate settings for the C language since they are mostly the same as for C . Regarding naming conventions, you can configure separate rules for members of enum and enum class if you want to. You can also create custom naming conventions for your C project and save them to project settings.
