The wildcard can't be used by the C/C++ compiler recommanded!

[WangShiSuiFeng24]

When I browsed the doc of GCC on Windows，I found that I could modify my tasks.json file to build multiple C++ files by using an argument like "${workspaceFolder}/*.cpp" instead of "${file}". But there is a fatal error when I run my program. The information is that *.cpp is invalid argument.

What is interesting is that my program runs sucessfully if I use another compiler downloaded from https://winlibs.com/.

The recommanded compiler is installed by msys2 with the command line "pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-toolchain
"

Could you provide more information about this compiler you are using? What is the exact path of "g++" in the command line?

Does this repro when you use the full path to the ucrt version of the compiler (i.e "C:/msys64/ucrt64/bin/g++.exe") in the command line?

Does the issue reproduce without using the cppbuild task and just the command line?
