RE: [cdt-dev] CDT Indexer

["Daoust, Dave" <dave.daoust@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe that the quickest way to improve the indexer and the outline
view, is to create defects and to provide sample code snippets that show
the failures that you are seeing. 

Without the defects, we are likely to fix the parser for problems that
we do know about, and you will still have errors in your usage of CDT.

Actually, the outline isn't driven from the index. It is driven by an
older version of the parser which doesn't handle things like macros very
well. We are working on upgrading the outline to at least use the index
to parser more accurately.

Sorry, but I don't think there any workarounds for the outline view.
