Unable to set non-recursive includePath in workspace root #3121
Description
Type: LanguageService
Describe the bug
- OS and Version: Windows 10 (Windows_NT x64 10.0.17134)
- VS Code Version: 1.30.2
- C/C++ Extension Version: 0.21.0
- Other extensions you installed (and if the issue persists after disabling them): None
I am unable to set a non-recursive includePath to the workspace root. I wish to add specific folders to the includePath, and exclude others. However since they are all subfolders of the workspace root, they are automatically included. It appears the extension always adds the workspace root as a recursive includePath.
Example c_cpp_properties.json
{
"configurations": [
{
"name": "MinGW",
"intelliSenseMode": "gcc-x64",
"compilerPath": "C:/msys32/opt/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin/xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc.exe",
"includePath": [
"${workspaceFolder}/Sub/Include/**",
"${workspaceFolder}/Main/**",
"${workspaceFolder}/*"
],
"defines": [
"__GNUC__=5"
],
"cStandard": "c11",
"cppStandard": "c++14"
}
],
"version": 4
}
The C/C++ log shows the root folder is included recursively.

Expected behavior
I should be able to control the inclusion of the workspace root in the includePath. i.e. Set to non-recursive or exclude entirely.
