Unresolved inclusion of 'iostream' in a new CMake Hello World project [message #1847474]

Hello,

I've recently switched from Eclipse 2020-03 to 2021-09 and I noticed that autocomplete feature doesn't work in either of my existing CMake projects, so I started looking for the problem with the simplest possible scenario:

I create a new Hello World CMake project within Eclipse. This compiles and runs well, but the autocomplete doesn't work already here! On the other hand, if I create the C++ Managed build then project building, running and autocomplete works (so it's not the problem with my OS or libraries). Interestingly, only the autocomplete is disabled - error highlighting works correctly.
Do you have any hints on how to fix autocomplete for CMake?

Additional background information:
- OS: Ubuntu 20.04.3, cmake version 3.16.3
- For my main projects, I generate my CMakeLists files manually, build them externally with `-G "Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles"` flag, and then import it in eclipse. This worked well in Eclipse version 2020-03, but not anymore due to autocomplete feature missing.

I don't normally use CMake but I ran some tests a while back.
It seems that CMake projects rely on the global builtins provider
and will run it on every build. The Indexer won't work until this
happens.

You might want to set the provider to allocate a console so you
can know when it runs.

But that's not really my case. Indexer works well. When I start rebuilding the index, I see all of the code getting underlined with red markings, but after it completes the red underlines disappear and a correct syntax highlighting is used.
The only missing thing is the autocomplete.

See the attached screenshot. There are no suggestions for my f variable of the fstream type and at the same time the syntax checker highlights the typo introduced intentionally in the second test function.

I guess what I find confusing is the title of your post begins:
Unresolved inclusion of 'iostream' ...
and I gave an answer to resolve it assuming it would fix the other problem.
But now you say you only meant the autocomplete issue.

I don't have an answer for that. It seems to work for me.
As for it underlining fostream you do realize that recognizing what has not
been defined is more or less independent of content assist, yes? That you can
have the former without the latter?

Have you checked that content assist has been enabled?
