Description
Type: Feature Request
It would be nice to have icons on lines which show the following, like in CLion:
- the method overrides another one (a hover would indicate the overridden method)
- the method is overridden somewhere (a hover would indicate all overriding methods)
- the class/struct inherits (an)other(s) (a hover would indicate all parents)
- the class/struct is inherited somewhere (a hover would indicate all childs)
This is basically the same feature request as this one but for C++.
An example on how it looks in CLion (not complete):

- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.

Research direction
The issue names no implementation files or tests; first read the related Python language-server request (#1641) and the C++ extension’s editor-feature entry points. Done means showing line icons for overrides, overridden methods, inheritance, and derived classes, with hovers identifying the corresponding methods or types.
