Doesn't show documentation for typedef in a namespace

[ShukantPal]

Type: LanguageService

/**
 * Summary
 */
typedef uint64_t Move;

constexpr Move move;

Hovering over Move doesn't show the documentation like moving over a method or class does.

It's working for me. Can you provide more repro details?

Hi, I'm working on https://github.com/SurakartaArcade/libsurakarta. The screenshot is from include/skmove.h.

This is a non-exhaustive list of extensions on my system:

• CMake Tools
• C/C++
• ESLint
• Flow Support

If you are more specific, I can given you more repro details.

Thanks for the info. I reproed it. The bug is triggered by the surrounding "namespace ". It appears to be an issue inherited from Visual Studio, so you can upvote https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/975899/c-intellisense-show-no-documentation-comment-for-t.html if you have a Microsoft account.

VS fixed it in a component that isn't shared yet, i.e. we'd need to make a different fix.

Sorry to be 'that guy', but since it's been around two years... It would be great if this could be fixed. Is there any idea of an updated ETA?

[sean-mcmanus]

@db-src @ShukantPal Sorry about that and thanks for the "ping" -- it looks like this "fell through the cracks" -- it was trivial to apply the fix that VS made. It should be fixed in our next update.

Brilliant, thank you!
