IntelliSense for "Quick Start a Hello World project (C++, CMake)"

[nicreuss]

I've been struggling to get IntelliSense to work correctly for the quick start example.
The build is successful but IntelliSense has errors.

The following things are working:

• CMake generates compile_commands.json
• c_cpp_properties.json is updated with the path for compile_commands.json
• The local headers (in the include directory) are indexed by IntelliSense

However, the system header iostream (line 15 in hello-world.cpp) is not found.

The C/C++ extension give this output:
Unable to resolve configuration with compilerPath: "C:\Users\nic\Desktop\gcc-test\xpacks\.bin\gcc"

Any ideas about what I am doing wrong?

Environment

OS: Windows 10
xPack extension version: v0.4.16
C/C++ extension version: v1.7.1
Xpm version: 0.10.8
Node and global npm packages managed using Volta

Hmmm... You are not doing anything wrong, it seems that the C++ extension cannot recognise the compiler installed via xpm. :-(

The reason I could not detect it before is that on my test machine I had a cl.exe installed, and VS Code picked it.

I'll further investigate.

I created #28 to keep track of the bug.

Thank you for looking into the issue.
