  • Does this answer your question? [Why don't other programs see the changes I made to a file in VS Code until I save those changes?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76984829/why-dont-other-programs-see-the-changes-i-made-to-a-file-in-vs-code-until-i-sav) – starball Aug 27 '23 at 06:27

I don't normally develop in Windows so this is a wild guess worth trying. 1- Save your file "Ctrl + s" 2- Do "gcc ./first.c" rather than "gcc .\first.c"

  • LOL I KNOW what is happening. You have not saved your file! :D Look at the dot next to the file name on the top. That means it has not being saved. Press Ctrl + s or file-> save – Iosvany Dalmau Sep 29 '20 at 16:15

  • Always a pleasure and don't lose hope. Programming (specially in C) can be very challenging and you might want to destroy your PC sometimes, but in the long run it all starts to make sense. You can do it! – Iosvany Dalmau Sep 29 '20 at 16:24
  • they shouldn't need to change the directory separator. they're using powershell. – starball Aug 27 '23 at 06:27
