Completely crashes every time I try to add nodejs/src to includePath

[trulysinclair]

Type: LanguageService

Describe the bug

• OS and Version: Windows 10
• VS Code Version: 1.30.1
• C/C++ Extension Version: 0.20.1
• Other extensions you installed (and if the issue persists after disabling them):
• Developing nodejs addons, I tried to add the nodejs/src directory to access the node.h and other header files and was met with crashes nonstop. I tried "C:/NodeJS/src/" which didn't work. So I tried "C://NodeJS//src//" and it crashed.

Expected behavior
Directory and header files are loaded.

What crashes? What error do you see? Where is this path being used? Is this a bug with VS Code or the C/C++ extension?

Using "//" should never be a valid path. Maybe you meant "\\"? Our extension should normally accept "/" (or \\) in paths. It's possible we have a problem with "//" since that is unexpected input.

I got it to work thankfully. However, I used the wrong slash and that's what crashed it. Specifically, using "//" will cause the server to restart 5 times and Ultimately fail. Forcing you to restart VS Code entirely. So although it was my mistake, I do recommend trying to find out why "//' causes such a crash.

Where did you add the path with "//"? I found/fixed a crash when "//" is used with "//**" in includePath. Is that the same one you hit?

[sean-mcmanus]

Our latest 0.21.0-insiders3 has fixed the crash when "//" is used.

Setting C_Cpp.updateChannel to "Insiders" is another way to get the update.

Sorry for such a late response. Yes that's what seemed to crash it pretty hard.
