Description
Hello
I am running VSCODE with the c/c++ extension by Microsoft.
I have configured the extensions c_cpp_properties.json correctly.
I can jump to definitions of any symbols in the opened folder correctly.
Yet the auto-completion is not working, nor the function suggestions (e.g. arguments)
When I start typing a variable name, a project level menu list is showed (literally every symbol in the entire project).
Additionally, structures/unions members have not suggested upon typing [. or ->) symbols.
Is something misconfigured, or is this bug/unimplemented behavior?
Thanks.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported completion, function-argument, and structure-member suggestion failures with the configured c_cpp_properties.json in VS Code. Compare the behavior with the project-wide symbol list and define done as restoring context-aware suggestions for variables, arguments, and members.
