Include path settings don't trim white space

[pwintz]

Type: Bug

I have files I want C++ to include in the directory /usr/local/include.
When I added "/usr/local/include " (with a space at the end) to the "Include path" configuration for the C/C++ extension, a warning is shown below the box that says, "Cannot find: /usr/local/include "
The trailing white space for each line should be trimmed so that such a warning is not shown.

Thank you for submitting this issue! We are currently looking into this.

It's valid for there to be spaces in directory or file names. It seems wrong to me to trim whitespace from a user-provided path, and prevent a valid scenario, regardless of how unlikely. I'd suggest we put quotes around the path in the error message, so the spaces are apparent rather than invisible.

The current plan is to only automatically remove the whitespace if the path with whitespace does not exist.
