C/C++ extension for Visual Studio Code, gcc, Mac: “variable uint32_t is not a type name”

Question

I\'ve begun using VSC for my embedded C projects with gcc for ARM on a Mac. Having set up include paths in c_cpp_properties.json, most of my #includes

Answer 1

After trying all of the proposed solutions to no effect, I consider the uint32_t issue to be a bug.

To solve the annoying warnings in VSCode, just add the following line after your #include section:

typedef __uint32_t uint32_t;

By doing this once in a single file, it fixes my VSCode warnings and still compiles.
