codebase indexing

Codebase indexing on WindowsForum.com covers tools and workflows that build persistent symbol indexes so developer tools can answer definition, reference, implementation, and symbol-search requests without recomputing data each time. The tagged discussion centers on GitHub Copilot CLI gaining whole codebase indexing for C++ projects, built through the Microsoft C++ Language Server and enabled by default. It notes the practical trade-offs: an initial index build on a large repository can take longer and temporarily use more memory, while later lookups in the terminal should be faster. The feature previously appeared in Microsoft's IDEs before reaching the command-line agent.
