Description
Bug type: Language Service
Describe the bug
- OS and Version: Arch Linux, kernel: 5.10.39-1-lts
- VS Code Version: 1.56.2
- C/C++ Extension Version: v1.4.0-insiders3
- Other extensions you installed (and if the issue persists after disabling them): I don't have other enabled extensions from the "C++" category
When I perform the "Go To Definition" or "Go to Declaration" action on a parameter of the function signature in a std::function type, VSCode navigates to the definition/declaration of std::function in the standard library instead of the actual type definition/declaration. Strangely enough, these actions work properly with the return type of the signature.
Steps to reproduce
- Copy the code sample into a
.cppfile. - Right click on the
fooinside the parentheses and choose eitherGo to DefinitionorGo to Declaration. - Observe that VSCode navigates either to the definition of
std::function(ifGo to Definitionwas used) or to its declaration.
Expected behavior
VSCode should navigate to the definition of foo within the same file.
Code sample and logs
- Code sample
#include <functional>
struct foo
{
int bar;
};
using baz = std::function<foo(foo)>;
int main()
{
return 0;
}

Research direction
Reproduce the issue using the provided .cpp sample in VS Code with the C/C++ extension; begin with Go to Definition or Go to Declaration on foo inside std::function<foo(foo)>. Done means both actions navigate to foo's definition in the same file rather than to std::function.
