Sourcetrail does not index the deduced type of "auto"

[petermost]

The original issue feature request: expand C++ "auto" type doesn't go into details what is wanted here, but from own experience it seems indexing handles all auto types as a single type. It would be much more helpful to index the deduced type. For other usages of auto:

1. auto placeholder type specifier
2. Function declaration with trailing return type
3. Structured binding declaration
4. Abbreviated function template
5. Explicit cast to a prvalue copy

see this issue: #10

@bam80: Is this what you had in mind?

Sorry I don't remember.
Are you going to resurrect Sourcetrail? That would be awesome.

I'm interested in the story behind that.

Well, look at the commits and judge for yourself 😉

Not much to tell. I was a costumer for the commercial product and used and use it very successfully in my freelancer projects. After the Coati company decided to stop working on it, I thought maybe somebody else will continue it, but that didn't happen. Because this is the tool I basically was waiting for years (and I currently have the time), I decided to give it a try.

Great, I wish you good luck!
