0.13.0

September 2017 Update

Setting up the include path for IntelliSense just got easier. When you open a folder, the extension will recursively search for potential include paths that match the header files your code is using based on the paths set by the browse.path setting in c_cpp_properties.json and give you suggestions to help you set up the include path. Click on the green squiggles under #include statements and a light bulb will appear and offer suggestions of paths that will allow IntelliSense to resolve the included file.

Reference highlighting support is now provided by the extension. Moving the text cursor over a symbol in the editor will highlight matching symbols in the same file. When the IntelliSense engine is set to "Default", only matching symbols will be highlighted (as shown below). When the IntelliSense engine is set to "Tag Parser", all exact word matches will be highlighted. This feature corresponds to VS Code's editor.occurrencesHighlight setting. Selecting a range of text will continue to invoke VS Code's editor.selectionHighlight behavior.

When you set the IntelliSense engine to "Default" you will now start to see parameter hints only for the functions that match the context in which the function is invoked. Hints will also be presented for template arguments. Previously, the extension returned hints for all functions with a matching name, regardless of context.
