Description
Feature Request
In Eclipse CDT, one can ask for call hierarchy not only for functions but for variables, classes and much more.
The symbol appears as the root of the hierarchy, the references to that symbol appears in the next level of hierarchy and so on.
It is very useful feature for the common engineer,
it could be great addition to the vscode features.
Thank you,
Tal.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing function call-hierarchy implementation and its tests, then determine how variables, classes, macros, and other symbols would be represented as hierarchy roots and references. Done means the requested symbol types can be explored through the same hierarchy workflow with coverage for the supported cases.
