Environment

  • OS and Version: Windows 10
  • VS Code Version: 1.99.3 (user setup)
  • C/C++ Extension Version: 1.24.5 (Last Released: 2025-04-11, 04:47:06)

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary: Using designated initializers raises the error saying "expected an expression C/C++(29)"

Steps to reproduce:
I will post the image as the example

Image

If I write it like this, no error is reported

Image

however, both codes are working

Expected behavior: No error squiggles reported, since the code is indeed able to be compiled

Other Extensions

No response

Additional context

Extra notes: Checked older versions, in the Extension version 1.22 it didn't raise the error, however, starting from the 23, it does. Also, if it will help, the description in v24 of the following code looks like

However, on v22, it looks like this

@MightyJosip When you run the C/C++: Log Diagnostics command, what is the C or C++ standard version and IntelliSense mode that is reported as being used? c++17 and windows-msvc-x64? Does your compile_commands.json specify a c++20 version? If so, there may be a failure parsing it, and it using the c++17 from the base configuration. (C++20 is required for designated initializers, unless you're using C?).

Now I am not sure how to check the version in the compile_commands, but the specific entry in compile_commands for that file looks like this

    "output": "src_c/_sdl2/controller.cp313-win_amd64.pyd.p/controller.c.obj"
  },

The entire repository is written in C, it doesn't have any cpp files.

However, when you mention C++, if I modify the c_cpp_properties to include the different cppStandard (20), I don't get the expected an expression C/C++(29) error any more. But, that file is written in C

@MightyJosip Yes, there was a bug causing a .c file to be interpreted as C++ in compile commands. It'll be fixed in when 1.25.1 is released (and then we plan to push the fix to a release update some time after that).

@MightyJosip It should be fixed with https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/releases/tag/v1.25.1 . Let us know if you still have the issue with that.
