Minimal reproduction example for VSCode CPP Tools issue #7221

Issue link

Prerequisites

• VSCode
• GCC
• Meson/Ninja build system
  • Installed using pip install meson ninja
• Microsoft VSCode CPP Tools extension

Steps to reproduce

1. Build project using include VSCode build task

2. Ensure it compiles successfully

   • If build succeeded, you should see something like this:

        > Executing task: meson /usr/local/home/anatoly/vscode-cpp-test/../build/ <
   
        The Meson build system
        Version: 0.56.2
        Source dir: /usr/local/home/anatoly/vscode-cpp-test
        Build dir: /usr/local/home/anatoly/build
        Build type: native build
        Project name: vscode-cpp-test
        Project version: 1.0.0
        C compiler for the host machine: cc (gcc 9.3.0 "cc (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04) 9.3.0")
        C linker for the host machine: cc ld.bfd 2.34
        C++ compiler for the host machine: c++ (gcc 9.3.0 "c++ (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04) 9.3.0")
        C++ linker for the host machine: c++ ld.bfd 2.34
        Host machine cpu family: x86_64

        Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.
   
        > Executing task: ninja -C /usr/local/home/anatoly/vscode-cpp-test/../build/ <
   
        ninja: Entering directory `/usr/local/home/anatoly/vscode-cpp-test/../build/'
        [2/2] Linking target vscode-cpp-test
   
        Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.
   

3. Open test.c file in the editor

   • The editor will have error squiggles around the include despite build succeeding
