Fix VS Code cargo executable probing Handle Windows executable suffixes when the VS Code extension probes for cargo through PATH or CARGO_HOME, and preserve case-insensitive environment variable lookup for supplied env objects so copied Windows `Path` entries still resolve cargo. Normalize and document the Windows CARGO_HOME test comparison as well, because VS Code path resolution can lowercase the drive letter in `fsPath` without changing which executable was found. This keeps the extension-side lookup aligned with the Rust-side toolchain helper behavior and avoids breaking create-project on common Windows setups. AI-assisted: OpenAI Codex was used to identify and apply this change.
rust-analyzer is a language server that provides IDE functionality for writing Rust programs. You can use it with any editor that supports the Language Server Protocol (VS Code, Vim, Emacs, Zed, etc).
rust-analyzer features include go-to-definition, find-all-references, refactorings and code completion. rust-analyzer also supports integrated formatting (with rustfmt) and integrated diagnostics (with rustc and clippy).
Internally, rust-analyzer is structured as a set of libraries for analyzing Rust code. See Architecture in the manual.
