I think the following replies may help you:

• lua_lsp is abnormally consuming memory. #2704 (comment)
• Server seems to be scanning more files than I would expect #2849 (comment)

[gGameDevelop]

the probleme not here the probleme is I'm not openning lua file for lua_languge_server for start the probleme is i open a bi cpp opengl project file exactly json file format for building.

Maybe you can paste your log files here for further debugging, like in this issue #2744 (comment).
It will show what is the workspace root, and all the files that luals has preloaded.

[gGameDevelop]

no debugging information, I say that lua_ls is running on c++ project that no need for lua_ls on it.

[gGameDevelop]

and lua_ls is working fine on normal lua projects.

[tomlau10]

I say that lua_ls is running on c++ project that no need for lua_ls on it.

Can you give some reproduction repo links?
I don't have any problems when opening a c++ project, even if that c++ file in inside a lua project, given that I don't open lua files in that workspace from the beginning.

Just take LuaLS repo as an example:

• There are 3rd modules that contains .cpp files
• If I don't open lua files in this workspace, no lua-language-server process will be spawned
  
• Only after I open a .lua file, then lua-language-server.exe is spawned

I see that your runtime environment is Neovim. Perhaps you should discuss with the Neovim team why LuaLS would run. Additionally, LuaLS has runtime logs. If you can find and upload them, we might be able to check why.

maybe this is a problem from Neovim, for it loading Language Server that not compatible with the current workspace.
