VScode C/C++ formatting failed


I'm on windows 10, It used to work before i don't know why it stopped working, it gives the error message "Formatting failed. See the output window for details." refer to image

I've looked for a solution online but what I've found is people saying to use a different extension rather than the default c/c++ formatter which i really don't want to do, why ? it changes my code theme

i just want this fixed i don't want a replacement


Solution

  • Fixed! just updated to the pre-release version of the c/c++ extension and it worked like a charm, you can update it back later :)
