The VSCode editor cannot find the Garfield++ header file

Garfield++

ROOT Version: 6.36.08
Built for linuxx8664gcc on Mar 10 2026, 09:46:52

cmake version 3.28.3

gcc version 13.3.0

I have successfully installed Garfield++ and VSCode, but my compiler is unable to correctly recognize the header files of Garfield, resulting in red wavy lines appearing in the compiler.

Even though I updated the .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json configuration file and added the correct path to the Garfield++ header files, there are still red wavy lines appearing.

By the way, when I was compiling Garfield++ using CMake, I changed the installation path to /usr/local. I also installed Geant4 through source code compilation, but VSCode was able to correctly recognize the Geant4 header files.

OK，I changed the file name suffix to.cc, and then VSCode was able to correctly recognize the header files. I found that the file suffix affects the language mode of IntelliSense, which leads to the inability to use syntax highlighting, code completion, and header file search rules properly. You can either modify the suffix name or modify the VSCode configuration file associated with the .cc suffix.
