@sridmad Please investigate. Thanks

This should be fixed in the next release (cpp extension version 0.9.0) using VSCode version 1.4. If it still repros for you at that time please reopen this bug.

I am using VSCode 1.5.3 and cpp extenion version 0.9.2, "The C/Cpp Language Server server crashed 5 times in the last 3 minutes. The server will not be restarted." message appear.

[pieandcakes]

@jgoshi This looks like it is still an issue.

[andro78]

So I tried to install previous version of VSCODE(1.5.0), but same issue occurred.

More repro details would be great, since we can't repro this. Do you just open a folder? Any folder? One thing we could do in the future is to add more enable/disable settings so users can turn off functionality that is potentially crashing. Also, what is your OS? You may be using an unsupported OS.

OS: windows 10(14393.222)
No folder is opened. Just create a new file, set language to C++, type anything, then the issue would occur. I reinstall VSC, uninstall all other extensions, and reinstall C/C++ but it is still there.

[sean-mcmanus]

Yes, this is a known issue with using a newly created, unsaved file. You should save the new file to workaround this bug. Opening the folder the file is saved at would also be recommended.

[andro78]

There is no new unsaved files.

When I switch to C/C++, this still happen

Workaround: Works only when file is saved.
