Please update your includePath to match the output of gcc -v -E -x c++ -. Be sure to keep the same order too. Sorting the system include paths can have unintended consequences.

@likui911 does adding any of the "defines" mentioned here to your c_cpp_properties.json help? (Particularly, __GNUC__=6)

bobbrow picture bobbrow on 29 Nov 2017

Thank you, @kamilr , just added path locale.h. That helped me :)
