2 years ago Hi @use . Since this isn't a widely experienced issue, I suspect there is something specific to your environment or configuration.
Using 1.7.x, is it possible to get the C/C++ extension to activate without immediately crashing? (i.e. if you open an empty folder and trigger activation of the C/C++ extension by running C/C++: Edit Configurations (JSON))? Would it be possible to attach a debugger (i.e. gdb or lldb) to cpptools prior to the crash, to collect crash stacks?
You might also consider deleting the 1.7.x extension (i.e. from ~/.vscode-server/extensions/ms-vscode.cpptools-1.7.1) before reinstalling it. If it's become corrupted on your system somehow, reinstalling via VS Code might not actually result in a fresh copy. Deleting the cached copy would address that.
Can you confirm whether removing all C_Cpp.* related settings avoids the issue? If so, could you narrow down which settings seem to be involved in the repro?

I'm now using the latest vs code which auto installed for me today. I tried opening a new vscode window, opening a new folder outside of any c project, and creating a new empty file "nothing.c". As soon as the file buffer opens I get "Connection to server got closed. Server will not be restarted." followed by "The language server crashed 5 times in the last 3 minutes. It will not be restarted.".

I took a look in settings.json. The only setting I have related to this extension is ""C_Cpp.loggingLevel": "Debug"" which I commented out and repeated the issue.

My apologies, I don't know how to do that. Is there a way to see how or why the language server crashed?

Ubuntu 21.10, I am experiencing the same symptoms with 1.7.1. Reverted to 1.6.0, now it works as normal.
Can it be caused by some cache files?

2 years ago Hi @use . I'd like to confirm if the issue is related to opening a source file, or if the C/C++ extension is failing to activate at all. Could you confirm this by launching VS Code such that no source files are open at all, then opening on the C/C++ configuration file (c_cpp_properties.json), by running the C/C++: Edit Configurations (JSON) command). That will activate the C/C++ extension without processing a source file.
Does the issue happen when you open a local folder, or only when you open a remote folder via WSL? (Do you know if you are using WSL1 or WSL2?)
If the extension is unable to start at all, it could have become corrupted. Consider deleting the extension files from the file system before reinstalling (so VS Code does not reuse them). For the remote/WSL Linux, extension files would be in: ~/.vscode-server/extensions
I don't know how to do that. Is there a way to see how or why the language server crashed?
We could determine why it crashed if we can attach a debugger to it before it crashes, then trigger the crash. If we can catch it crashing while in the debugger, we could get a stack crawl (backtrace) of the crash, which would tell us a lot.
However, if the extension is not working at all, it may be that the extension itself is corrupted, or there is something about your setup that is unusual that we may need to identify in order to reproduce and investigate the issue.

2 years ago I have the same problem with version 1.7.0 and 1.7.1, rolling back to 1.6.0 works fine. Using vscode wsl remote in ArchWSL (WSL2).
Without opening any source file, running C/C++: Edit Configurations (JSON) opens c_cpp_properties.json just fine. But it will suddenly shows Connection to server got closed. Server will not be restarted. once I open any .c or .cpp file.

2 years ago @maple3142 The logging suggests you may be hitting a tag parser crash, but I'm not sure which file because the logging may be incomplete when the crash occurs. Can you open a workspace with a configuration like:
{
"name": "Linux",
"includePath": [
],
"compilerPath": "",
"browse": {
"path": []
}
}and then open a .cpp file to verify no crash occurs, and open various files (and/or adding folders to the configuration) to try to determine which file triggers the crash, e.g. opening /home/maple3142/tmp/Python39/include/cpython/abstract.h or pasting its contents into a file (or adding /home/maple3142/tmp/Python39/include/cpython/ to the includePath, etc.)?
Also, attaching a debugger to cpptools (see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/wiki/Attaching-debugger-to-cpptools-or-cpptools%E2%80%90srv ) before it crashes to get a crash call stack may also help...it would show if it's a tag parser crash or something else.

2 years ago Hi, can this issue be reopened? I'm also facing the same issue.
System info: WSL2 ubuntu extension version is 1.8.4. Windows 11
I just followed this guide: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-wsl and got the "Connection to server got closed. Server will not be restarted." when I opened a .cpp file.
I also cleared the extension data at ~/.vscode-server/extensions and reinstalled the extension. Didn't solve the issue.
Here is the output shown when the extension crashes for the first time:
for some reason, I don't get the option to select cpptools or cpptools-srv when I follow this guide, so I can't attach the debugger:

2 years ago @harshil21 A language server crash is a symptom for which there are many potential causes. I've moved your issue to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/8871 .
Issue Type: Bug
At some point the C/C++ language server stopped working. It crashes when I open any project. It used to work and I don't know why it stopped working.
This is with the latest Windows 10 and the latest extension version. I'm using WSL "Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS".
Can you point me in the right direction as far as troubleshooting?
