lsif-clang

In the top right corner of the tooltip it will say either "Search-based" or "Precise" - in this case, you're right, we don't have the abseil-cpp repo indexed so it falls back to search-based as you describe. We do have a C++ code indexer in beta, https://github.com/sourcegraph/lsif-clang - it is based on clang but C++ indexing is notably harder to do automatically/without-setup due to the varying build systems that need to be understood in order to invoke the compiler.

Hey! I work on code intelligence at Sourcegraph, so I figured I'd chime in here. > why don't you have decent crossrefs We do have compiler-accurate cross references for many repos. Some examples: - TypeScript: https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/sindresorhus/got/-/blob/s... - C: https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/neovim/neovim/-/blob/src/... - C++: https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Sampl... Why are not all repos covered? Because different languages have different build systems, so inferring the right build commands, dependencies etc. is not so straightforward; these are necessary pre-requisites for compiler-accurate cross references. We're working on fixing this with auto-indexing: https://docs.sourcegraph.com/code_intelligence/explanations/... For C and C++ specifically, auto-indexing is challenging because of the lar
