Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash with the provided build_index_impl template example and inspect how the AST resolves its base class. Trace the base from the derived class to determine why the specialization is reported as the template class. Done means the AST preserves the specialized base and the example no longer crashes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

If a class derives from a template specialisation, our AST reports its base as a the template class and not as the specialisation. The following example in particular causes a crash:

template <int N, int... I>
struct build_index_impl : build_index_impl<N - 1, N - 1, I...> {};
