Description

Type: Feature Request

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the C/C++ Outline View implementation and any existing handling of #pragma-like markers, then compare the requested behavior with Xcode-style markers. Done means markers in implementation files visibly separate or highlight entries in the Outline View, with tests covering that behavior.
