With the Swift extension enabled it apperas that C++ files are getting Swift features.

The vscode-swift lsp server SourceKit-LSP does provide functionality for both Swift, C and C++. Is this clashing with the C++ extension?

What is the difference between the rendered docs with the swift extension enabled and disabled?

Yes, it appears to be the case. Please check my report here: microsoft/vscode-cpptools#10461
Particularly this comment: microsoft/vscode-cpptools#10461 (comment)

When I disabled the Swift extension everything went back to normal.

As I am using both C++ and Swift/Objective-C in the same project. I would really like that both extension behave and cooperated properly.
My current project is using CMake for C++ in the root folder, and then in subfolder there are Package.swift, Xcode project, etc. This structure cannot be changed.
At the moment some C++ code is built as a library for the Swift Xcode project (which contains also Package.swift) but in the future there may/will be also Swift/Objective-C code built as a library for the C++ executables.

Maybe with https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_75#_profiles I can work around this issue.

#493 should resolve this for you

@adam-fowler Thank you for the quick reaction and your work!
