c_cpp_properties.json: browse property path recursive search not working

[DeadRabbits307]

Type: LanguageService
As described here an entry in browse/path like ${buildroot_root_dir}output/build/linux-4.15.16/drivers shall recursive search all subdirectories of drivers. But this is not the case. I have to add each subdir to get to the definition of an function like:

"env": {
        "buildroot_root_dir": "/home/xy/buildroot/buildroot-2018.02.5/"
    },
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Linux",
            "includePath": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/**"
            ],
            "compilerPath": "${buildroot_root_dir}output/host/usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gcc",
            "cStandard": "c11",
            "intelliSenseMode": "gcc-x64",
            "forcedInclude": [
                "${buildroot_root_dir}output/build/linux-4.15.16/include/generated/autoconf.h"
            ],
            "browse": {
                "path": [
                    "${workspaceFolder}/../../my_second_proj",
                    "${buildroot_root_dir}output/build/linux-4.15.16/drivers/base",
                    "${buildroot_root_dir}output/build/linux-4.15.16/drivers/crypto",
                    ...],
                ],
                "limitSymbolsToIncludedHeaders": false,
                "databaseFilename": ""
            },
            "compileCommands": "${workspaceFolder}/compile_commands.json"
      }

Only

"browse": {
                "path": [
                    "${workspaceFolder}/../../my_second_proj",
                    "${buildroot_root_dir}output/build/linux-4.15.16/drivers"
                  ]
...

does not enable the "Got to Definition" to find functions in ${buildroot_root_dir}output/build/linux-4.15.16/drivers/base/platform.c for example.

Describe the bug

• OS and Version: 4.19.45-1-MANJARO
• VS Code Version: 1.34.0
• C/C++ Extension Version: 0.24.0

Expected behavior

"browse": {
                "path": [
                    "${workspaceFolder}/../../my_second_proj",
                    "${buildroot_root_dir}output/build/linux-4.15.16/drivers",
...

should be enough to find ${buildroot_root_dir}output/build/linux-4.15.16/drivers/base/platform.c and any other file in /drivers or in any subdir in/drivers with the "Got to Definition".

Bug? Configuration issue?

Are you using 0.24.0? Does it repro after you update to 0.26.0?

[DeadRabbits307]

I updated to 0.26.0, this fixed it! (working in an offline environment)

In addition: the OUTLINE now works again. With 0.24.0 the "Follow Cursor" functionality did not work. I don't know if this is related to vscode-cpptools...

Thanks anyway!

Thanks for confirming!

And yes, we fixed the Document Outline in 0.26.0.
