This might be nixos specific

[browntarik]

Could you please provide more information about when this issue occurs?

1. Are you simply attempting to open a C++ file?
2. Does the issue persist when all other extensions are disabled?

[kjeremy]

The issue was in that the interpreter for the cpptools* binaries was getting overridden by nixos's autoPatchelfHook.
