CodeJumper is a VSCode plugin based on [GNU Global] (https://www.gnu.org/software/global/). It is used to find symbol definitions, references, jump files, auto-completion, etc. in C/C++ projects. If the large project is opened in VSCode, it will cause a freeze. This extension can retrieve the symbol of the entire project when one of the modules open, and the speed is very fast.
This extension is recommended for large C/C ++ projects, and small projects are recommended to use C/C++ Extension
The extension is based onGNU Global，You need to install GUN Global first, execute the gtags command in the project root directory to produce a TAG file, and then you can use VSCode to open any module of the project to retrieve the symbols of the entire project.
Note: The TAG file is not updated in real time. If the source file is changed after the TAG file generated, it may cause positioning errors. You need to re-execute the gtags command in the root directory to generate the TAG file again. Or execute the
global -ucommand in the changed source directory to update the TAG file
