### Describe the Bug

Is `g++-14` unable to be used in the Anysphere C/C++ plugin as intellisense compiler?

### Steps to Reproduce

I merely imported my gcc environment from VS Code which is working properly.  
I replaced the C/C++ plugin by MS which is not working to Anysphere’s version and it seems like clang is the only available.  
I tried to use the cursor agent to fix the stuff which was still unsuccessful.

### Operating System

MacOS

### Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Version: 1.3.6 (Universal)

### Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Can I possibly somehow make clangd to use gcc?
