Hi my eclipse was several years old & buggy so I set new download links to update all components. Current version:
Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers
Version: 2023-09 RC1 (4.29.0 RC1)

Right click menu like open declaration, toggle header/source, search references etc all fail.
Generic Search Text works fast though.

On ctrl+click links, in C++ some variables link, functions mostly fail. Also for Python variables link, and a few functions link (often links to wrong function but at least it opens a choice popup).

I tried the workarounds in the 2 links. Also updated linuxtools to newer version that should cover the bugfix.

PyDev for Eclipse 9.3.0.202203051235 org.python.pydev.feature.feature.group Fabio Zadrozny
Eclipse Linux Tools Binutils Plug-in 6.0.0.202310270558 org.eclipse.linuxtools.binutils

Header links now work, a few variables link, but functions hyperlink does nothing. Right-click Open/Toggle menus all fail still.
Some link features work if it's in the same file. C++ is unable to jump across file even on obvious pairs like main.cpp & main.hh. Python's able to jump files sometimes, but at times opens the wrong file.

Refactor Rename: broken. Still ran a slow progress bar to complete, but only renames current selection. Long ago I believe this used to work, not sure which version.

I noticed only C++ has more right click features, that Python is missing. Is there a way or Plugin to add more multi language unified refactoring/linking support?
Do I have the wrong components version? Or is my prefs/settings messed up?
