C++ documentation regarding wildcards in tasks

[RuddeK]

The documentation for GCC for Linux and GCC for WSL mention the possibility of using Linux wildcards in paths (see section "modifying tasks.json"). However, when I modify the args to include a wildcard, the task wraps the path inside 'single quotes' and single quotes prevent wildcard expansion (this also happens when there are spaces in the path).
I found that the workaround should be to create an object that specifies a weak quoting mode. Unfortunately, the task fails silently when I change "${fileDirname}/*.c" to {"value": "${fileDirname}/*.c", "quoting": "weak"} with no indication for what the problem is. By failing silently I mean that nothing happens when I press the run button or CTRL+SHIFT+P > C/C++: Run C/C++ File.
I'm not interested in what the workaround is, but that the documentation includes a working example of selecting all files ending with .c from a folder.
Attachments: tasks.json

Thank you in advance!

Edit: Note that "${fileDirname}/main.c" works, but targets only a single file. For targeting multiple files I have to add them all manually to the tasks.json.
