0.26.3-insiders4

Instructions

Set the "C_Cpp.updateChannel" setting to "Insiders" to auto-install the latest Insiders vsix. Or if that doesn't work (such as in the remote scenario prior to 0.26.3-insiders2), manually download the vsix that matches the target OS and run the "Install from VSIX" command in VS Code.

Requirements

• VS Code 1.30.0 or later.

Changes

Bug Fixes

• Update dependent modules to address a security warning due to use of a deprecated API. #4381
• Fix an issue in which files may be unnecessarily removed from the tag parser database on startup, if using a custom configuration provider, resulting in a large number of files being reparsed. #4802
• Fix an issue in which Build and Debug Active File would fail to detect a compiler, without a compiler present in compilerPath. #4834
• Fix a crash when failing to launch external executables on Linux and Mac.
• Add a version check for -break-insert so later versions of lldb-mi can be used as a midebugger. MIEngine#946

Enhancements

• If clang-format is found in the environment path, that version will take precedence over the copy of clang-format bundled with the extension. #3569

Known Issues

• None so far.

Requirements

• VS Code 1.30.0 or later.

Changes

Enhancements

• Reworked how a source file is selected for TU creation when opening a header file. #2856
• Updated the default value of the C_Cpp.intelliSenseCachePath setting to a path under XDG_CACHE_HOME on Linux, or ~/Library/Cache on MacOS. #3979
