How to change the configuration created for C files to C++ files? (And vice versa)

[luizfernandonb]

If I created a configuration in c_cpp_properties.json to use the gcc path, technically it would not be correct to use this configuration in C++ files, I would have to switch to g++, correct?

If I am correct, how can I switch between gcc and g++ without manually changing the configuration in the Visual Studio Code UI? Is it possible to change it automatically? I have not found a question like this anywhere
