 1 | # BOF_Development_Docker
 2 | 
 3 | ## Summary
 4 | 
 5 | This repository serves as a fully functional, **lightweight** template for developing and compiling `BOF` or otherwise `Windows`-centric applications via `Visual Studio Code`.
 6 | 
 7 | ## Why
 8 | 
 9 | `Visual Studio Code` has supported idempotent, purpose-built containers for development for a few years. 
10 | 
11 | This is meant to illustrate on how powerful this is, namely:
12 | - Remote installation of extension configurations
13 | - Reliable `Intellisense` for development using path inspection
14 | - Quick, reliable, readily deployable images for rapid development
15 | - Lack of configuration drift between traditional virtual machine IDEs
16 | 
17 | ## How
18 | 
19 | Opening this folder within `Visual Studio`, you will be prompted to reopen within a container.
20 | 
21 | Acknowledging this (and assuming you have the [Docker VSCode extension](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/containers/overview), and `Docker` already installed) will reload the current window to be *inside* of the container it has built for you. That's it. Happy hacking.
22 | 
23 | ## Elections and Benefits
24 | 
25 | I'm currently using `musl` as the set of header files/libraries/compiler options. This plays a *lot* nicer with the numerous hacks of function pointers leveraged within many popular projects, to include reflective loaders of choice.
26 | 
27 | We're running on a slim `Alpine` image due to its size and first-class support of `musl` natively. This is just one less headache, and we can leave the "kitchen sink" bloat of other images.
28 | 
29 | The configuration of the extensions is already done for you, so `Intellisense` among other things (such as peeking definitions) is a single right-click away.
