Incorrect intelliSenseMode selected by cpptools when unspecified

[bobbrow]

We've been having issues with architecture in CMake Tools, and while investigating some issues, I discovered this problem. CMake Tools doesn't send the intelliSenseMode anymore because cpptools is supposed to figure it out, but when CMake Tools sends the path to an MSVC compiler that targets x86, cpptools selects the 64-bit intelliSenseMode.

Bolding for emphasis here since the Markdown won't let me do that in a code block:

It's possible this is a general issue and doesn't need to involve the configuration provider at all.

[sean-mcmanus]

Yeah, I don't believe we have ever looked at the compilerPath for cl.exe in determining the IntelliSense mode.

Yeah, I don't believe we have ever looked at the compilerPath for cl.exe in determining the IntelliSense mode.

The compilerPath of cl.exe hasn't been used to determine IntelliSense mode.

This should be fixed in 1.7.0.
