• VSCode Version: 1.9.1
• Extensions: ms-vscode.cpptools@0.10.1
• OS Version: Fedora 25

}

2. With the above code example, the syntax highlight for C code breaks, turning main() definition entirely blue-ish. See:

It seems that the syntax highlight motor expects a comma ; after a pair of parenthesis is added to macro definition, correcting the colors:
