Go to definition?

[proofit404]

Is it possible to implement go to definition with libclang?

[Sarcasm]

Not really in a perfect way, see #152 and #153. Right now I'm opposed to "half-baked" solutions. Some kind of indexing is necessary to support cross-translation-unit jump to reference/definition/...

[proofit404]

So maybe its a task for something like gnu globals?

[Sarcasm]

GNU Globals is not good for C++. A libclang based indexer would be better, for example https://github.com/Andersbakken/rtags or one of the cited tools here: #85 (comment)

Right now my hopes are for the Google project Kythe (see http://llvm.org/devmtg/2014-10/#talk21) but I have no idea when or what it does. I'd like to think they will provide more information in the next few months, I may be wrong.

Actually I doesn't write any C++ code. I use irony for C programming only. Thanks for your answers!

[Sarcasm]

Great, so I think you will be fine with GNU Globals, I liked when I was working in C and the Emacs interface is not too bad.

Kythe has arrived http://www.kythe.io/

[Sarcasm]

Yup, there is a long way to go though for now it seems. I'm reading slowly the documentation.

Has there been any progress on this issue?

[Sarcasm]

None.

[vellamike]

Is there any way to get the ability to go to a function declaration/definition with C++ at the moment, perhaps using a different package? Or is it not really possible?

[Sarcasm]

Using rtags maybe? https://github.com/Andersbakken/rtags
