Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:

this is the error

    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Linux",
            "includePath": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/bpf/**",
                "${workspaceFolder}/bpf/include"
            ],
            "forcedInclude": [
                // "${workspaceFolder}/bpf/include/type_mapper.h"
            ],
            "defines": [],
            "compilerPath": "/usr/bin/gcc",
            "cStandard": "c17",
            "cppStandard": "c++98",
            "intelliSenseMode": "linux-gcc-x64"
        }
    ],
    "version": 4
}

the errors goes away only if I use forceInclude

  "forcedInclude": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/bpf/include/type_mapper.h"
            ],

why I have to forceInclude there is a lot of projects & a lot of files it's not possible to force include each and every file.
Steps to reproduce:

install fedora 41 vs code & c++ extension
repo: https://github.com/cilium/tetragon

Expected behavior:
there should be 0 intelsense errors

Inizia dalla configurazione di c_cpp_properties.json e dalla diagnostica per bpf/process/bpf_enforcer.c, quindi esamina come includePath e forcedInclude vengono applicati a questa unità di traduzione. Confronta gli include individuati con bpf/include/type_mapper.h e riproduci il problema nel repository cilium/tetragon su Fedora 41. Il lavoro è completato quando gli errori IntelliSense segnalati sono risolti senza forzare ogni header.
