Description
I can also report that I am seeing some issues with IntelliSense since the latest `1.21.2` and `1.21.3` updates. It's like the db file stops growing after sometime and it misses symbols. I am on VSCode `1.91.1`, installed via snap on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Using GCC9/C++17.
Seemingly functional work-around: Revert to previous version v1.20.5. Then it seems like all symbols are parsed and the db-file grows to include them.

Research direction
Reproduce the incomplete database growth with VS Code 1.91.1, cpptools 1.21.2 or 1.21.3, Ubuntu 20.04 installed via snap, and GCC9/C++17; compare the behavior with 1.20.5. Done means symbols are fully parsed and the database continues growing as expected.
