1.1.0-insiders4 (release candidate)

Instructions

Set the "C_Cpp.updateChannel" setting to "Insiders" to auto-install the latest Insiders vsix ("extensions.autoUpdate" needs to be true too). Or if that doesn't work (e.g. for remote ARM machines), manually download the vsix that matches the target OS and run the "Install from VSIX" command in VS Code (don't double click the vsix).

Requirements

• VS Code 1.49.0 or later.
