Can't use globstar in the middle of the path in includePath

Environment

• OS and Version: macOS Sonoma Version 14.3.1
• VS Code Version: 1.87.0 (Universal)
• C/C++ Extension Version: 1.19.5

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:

Path with globstar in the middle of the path doesn't work in includePath of c_cpp_properties.json. Example of usage:

{
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Mac",
            "includePath": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/**",
                "/opt/homebrew/opt/**/include", <- faulty path
                "/opt/homebrew/opt/opencv/include/opencv4",
                "/opt/homebrew/opt/openvino/include"
            ],
...
    "version": 4
}

Per #723 I tried both ** and *, but the result is the same:

Using ls /opt/homebrew/opt/**/include locally in external terminal shows multiple matches as expected.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to 'c_cpp_properties.json' file and add path with globstar in the middle to includePath
2. See error

Expected behavior: multiple directories as a result of globstar expansion would be added to includePath

Thank you for reporting your issue.

After further investigation, this seems to just be a squiggle issue. Could you please provide the output from the C/C++: Log Diagnostics command? It is likely that the paths are correctly expanded and the squiggle is just appearing incorrectly.
