Research direction

Start by tracing how CMake-configured precompiled headers are represented during CppSharp parsing, using the reported and assert failure as the reproduction. Determine how declarations from a precompiled header should become available to the parser, then verify that the same example no longer reports the undeclared identifier.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

As you may know, some libraries use precompiled headers which are configured in CMake.
How to include such headers, since they are not explicitly included in the source code?
Because when <cassert> is included in a precompiled header I am getting:

error: use of undeclared identifier 'assert'
CppSharp has encountered an error while parsing code.
