According to the documentation of vscode for c++, the intelliSenseMode has two different modes:
gcc-x64
clang-x64
I just wonder:
What are the differences between the two modes?

This option tells intelliSense which compiler to use. So either gcc or clang.
From the official docs of VS Code (here):
intelliSenseMode: The IntelliSense mode to use that maps to an architecture-specific variant of MSVC, gcc, or Clang. If not set or if set to ${default}, the extension will choose the default for that platform.
Platform defaults:
- Windows: msvc-x64
- Linux: gcc-x64
- macOS: clang-x64
For a comparison between the two compilers, see e.g. here.
