the title says it all, and perhaps the post is more of a rant than a request for help since 1) I have no intention of creating an account on github to discuss this, and 2) work-arounds don't impress me. I need to see features languages features work correctly so as to NOT stifle my creative use of the language.

Figured I'd give it a couple of years and upgrade eclipse/cdt to see if their language support had come out of the stone-age, and while I now see options for c++17 and c++20, the support for "using" is still broken. The indexer simply doesn't understand many of the more sophisticated use-cases: quick-n-dirty exposure of a base class but with a new subclassed name (a real bonus when deriving custom exceptions), higher level use of variants with std::visit(), etc.

Every couple of years I come back around to see if eclipse has gotten its act together enough to seriously use it for a project...and I always end up going away disappointed...and end up doing everything manually with a simple text editor, lots of rgrep, and a Makefile.

Now if I could just get embedded vendors to quit being enamored with eclipse plugins for their development platforms. Bleck!
