Indent seems have the highest privilege in folding

[cloud-yu]

I've got some code like following

void func()
{   //<----  1
    if (1)
    {  //<---- 2
        if (1)
        {
            return;
        }
#if 0
        else
        {
            return;
        }
#endif
        if (1)
        {
            return;
        }
    }
}

1. when code folding starts at point 1 or point 2, it ends before condition compile statetment (#if 0)
2. condition compile statement works well start from #if end with #endif. But why this allows folding starts from #endif,end before the ending of function?

so, i got some questions:

1. indentation seems the highest privilege folding strategy, in other editor like source insight, "bracket pairs" strategy works well.
2. why #endif could be a start place for code folding ?

Hi @cloud-yu . Are you using the C/C++ Extension? You seem to be describing the behavior of VS Code without the C/C++ Extension installed. With the C/C++ Extension installed, a different algorithm is used for code folding, which does not start at the positions you indicated.

I'd suggest trying the C/C++ Extension to see if it's behavior is closer to what you are expecting. Or, consider opening an issue in the vscode repo: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode

I'm sure the cpp extension is enabled, and i disabled clangd extension. you can see the red square in pic.

after folding works looks like this.

Make sure C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine is set to "Default" and C_Cpp.codeFolding is also "Enabled". You should see:

Thanks , I checked my setttings, when I enabled clangd and cpp , clangd keep telling me to disabled the C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine .
Thanks for your information again.

got a way to disable some feature but not disable the whole engine ?

[sean-mcmanus]

Which features did you want to enable/disable? You could try setting the C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine to "Tag Parser"? Setting C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine to "Disabled" will disable all the language features.

Your request may be a duplicate of #7083, so you could upvote that.
