I recently made a change to my Intellisense directories and it ended up completely breaking my Intellisense until I restarted VS.
My directories for my project basically looked like this:
– /usr/include/c++/4.8.5
– /usr/include
– /usr/include/boost-1.68.0
(etc.)
– /usr/include/myprogram1-1.0.27
All of these are “remote” directories.
I changed the .27 to a .28 by using “Edit” and changing the path. I got a popup saying “Removing directory [hostname]\blahblah\0000”. And then it went away. After this none of my includes could be found any more.
I closed VS and restarted and now it’s working again.
Known issue?
