[bobbrow]

I just tried out mingw-w64 and was able to get std types to resolve by adding "__cdecl=" to the "defines" array in c_cpp_properties.json. Can you give that a try and let me know if that resolves your issue?

[lh123]

Thank you.
After add __cdecl=__attribute__((__cdecl__)),the problem was solved.

https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/blob/master/Documentation/LanguageServer/MinGW.md might help with other MinGW issues too, e.g. according to that __GNUC__=5 should be used with MinGW 5.3.

[bobbrow]

Yeah, I updated that page last night after looking at this issue, but I forgot to post back here.

[EdwinWalela]

could someone please expound on the solution

[sean-mcmanus]

@EdwinWalela The symptom has many possible causes. Can you file a new bug with repro details? We need to know what OS and compiler you're using.

Same problem: namespace "std" has no member "cout"

[bobbrow]

@g00ntar, if you have the latest version of the extension installed, you should set the "compilerPath" property and remove the system includes/defines from your includePath and defines. I'm in the process of updating the documentation for today's release which will also allow you to remove the system include paths from browse.path

[sean-mcmanus]

Also, change intelliSenseMode to "clang-x64".

I've followed instruction described in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/blob/master/Documentation/LanguageServer/Windows%20Subsystem%20for%20Linux.md, however, the intellisense tool generate: namespace "std" has no member "cout". This issue also is presented with other members in headers I use in my project, e.g., namespace "omnetpp" has no member "simsignal_t"

[bobbrow]

@Ryuuba, can you set "C_Cpp.loggingLevel": "Debug", then open a .cpp file? The extension will log the include path that it ended up using in the Output window (select the C/C++ filter to see logging from our extension). Can you check and see what is printed there?

[Ryuuba]

@bobbrow, In the log file, I actually see all paths I use in my project as well as includes/defines related to gcc. I attach the result in the following file:
log.txt

[sean-mcmanus]

@Ryuuba Yeah, those logs look normal. This sounds like a new issue we haven't seen reported before. I'm not able to repro it so far. Does Go to Definition on #include <iostream> go to the file at "...\usr\include\c++\5"?

[Ryuuba]

@sean-mcmanus yes, it does, but it does not if I use that option on an include statement to go a file that is out of ${workspaceFolder} despite the path of such file is "includePath"

[bobbrow]

We should move this to a new issue so that we don't lose it. This issue is closed.
