When setting includePath to paths from Windows Subsystem for Linux, the headers in it aren't recognized and causes errors like cannot find source file "stdio.h".
To reproduce, use the following c_cpp_properties.json with the user name and WSL system directory name replaced:
{
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Linux",
"includePath": [
"C:/Users/Blealtan/AppData/Local/Packages/TheDebianProject.DebianGNULinux_76v4gfsz19hv4/LocalState/rootfs/usr/include",
"C:/Users/Blealtan/AppData/Local/Packages/TheDebianProject.DebianGNULinux_76v4gfsz19hv4/LocalState/rootfs/usr/local/include"
],
"defines": [],
"intelliSenseMode": "clang-x64",
"browse": {
"path": [
"C:/Users/Blealtan/AppData/Local/Packages/TheDebianProject.DebianGNULinux_76v4gfsz19hv4/LocalState/rootfs/usr/include",
"C:/Users/Blealtan/AppData/Local/Packages/TheDebianProject.DebianGNULinux_76v4gfsz19hv4/LocalState/rootfs/usr/local/include"
],
"limitSymbolsToIncludedHeaders": true,
"databaseFilename": ""
},
"cStandard": "c11",
"cppStandard": "c++17"
}
],
"version": 3
}Then create a new C source file, add #include <stdio.h>, error occurs.
The file stdio.h does exist under specified include path:
PS C:\Users\Blealtan\AppData\Local\Packages\TheDebianProject.DebianGNULinux_76v4gfsz19hv4\LocalState\rootfs\usr\include> ls stdio.h
目录: C:\Users\Blealtan\AppData\Local\Packages\TheDebianProject.DebianGNULinux_76v4gfsz19hv4\LocalState\rootfs\usr\include

Also, when setting log level to Information, it shows below messages:
Unable to retrieve file system information for C:/Users/Blealtan/AppData/Local/Packages/TheDebianProject.DebianGNULinux_76v4gfsz19hv4/LocalState/rootfs/usr/include. error = -1

I haven't faced with this issue before recently updating to latest Windows Insider (slow). Recent builds seems to have updated stuffs around the filesystem of WSL, which might be related.
Extra information:
- Operating System: Windows 10 Build 17127
- VS Code version: March 2018 (version 1.22, non-insider)
- C/C++ extension: Version 0.16.1
- Other extensions: unrelated; issue persists after disabled
