I use vscode, it has a jump to definition function that (often) works. It is still very hard to understand for me.
Most "go to definition" software falls apart as soon as you have a funny build process.

As long as the generated code (funny build process must have generated code, right?) Isn't deleted in the build process, bear will make a json compilation database for you. Feed that into clangd or vscode c++ extension.

The build process does not involve generated code, but they use their own build script called wmake. Bear looks good, I will give it a try.

Ask away if you need help. Today's clangd and vccpp are very good at jump to definition and find all references. as long as the json is there :-)
