Problems not showing up for c code in vscode
I was doing a little bit of work on my c file when I accidentally turned off the setting which underlines problems. I'm a C novice so this tab is extremely helpful for me to figure out what I did wrong.
My question is what setting turns on error squigglies for C code. An important thing to note is that every other language I program in, the problems show up. So I'm 100% certain that it's language specific.
Thanks in advance.

In the workspace settings json file, you can add the following line.
"C_Cpp.errorSquiggles": "Enabled"
That will show the squiggles for both C and C++ files.
This link is an useful overview on changing the settings. You will find the language specific editor settings there as well.

Concise answer and a link to more. That's a good answer. For small C projects, I find it easier to simply use the "Developer Command Prompt" and simply compile directly from the command line. From the command line you can build 5 small projects in the time it takes to navigate the menus just to find the wanted settings in the IDE:)

@DavidC.Rankin: I do the same. I mainly use the IDE for writing code and debugging purposes.

I tried your idea and it unfortunately failed. The issue is not the squigglies, it's that it does not detect the problem. For example, if I don't use a function, it will spit back an error in the problems tab. However, it still does not do that even with error squigglies enabled.
