What did you do?

I'm here from #35721 since it seems this particular case is not the same issue. Trying to import a static library using "import C" gives a "could not import C (no package for import C)" in vscode, the code however, can compile and run with no problems with go build.

sample go code:

package main

// #cgo CFLAGS: -g -Wall -I/usr/src/myapp
// #cgo LDFLAGS: /usr/src/myapp/libdoecho.a
// #include "libdoecho.h"
import "C"
import "unsafe"
import "fmt"

func test1() {
    aCstring := C.CString("Hello")
    res := C.doecho(aCstring)
    aGOstring := C.GoString(res)
    C.free(unsafe.Pointer(aCstring))
    C.freeThePointer(res)
    fmt.Println("%v", aGOstring)
}

sample .h code:

#ifndef libdoecho
#define libdoecho

#include <stdarg.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

char *doecho(const char *s);

void freeThePointer(char *s);

#endif /* libdoecho */

libdoecho.a is a library wich exposes the "doecho" and "freeThePointer" functions. A string enters and a string is returned.

What did you expect to see?

import C should not give the "could not import C (no package for import C)" error on vscode, since the code does compile and run without problems with go build.

What did you see instead?

A "could not import C (no package for import C)" error.
