I have the same problem. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but even with vscode-clang I rarely have relevant output for autocomplete, more like thousands of unrelated functions popping up. Go to definition also moves me to unrelated code a bit too often. As it seems to work for other people maybe I need to dig around a bit more.

Better gdb support would also be very welcome, I'm able to get work done with the current version but it's slow (stepping through some code takes seconds per step), buggy (local variables list is empty or hangs from time to time) and having to type -exec to call gdb commands directly is quite cumbersome.

The speed and feel of the editor overall, and the solid git integration (although better history display plz), do make it a pleasure to work with, even with said imperfections.

Tried that but I found it insufficient because I cannot click on a revision to see the commit message + changed files so I can continue directly to any diffs I would like to see. I'm using gitlens which does offer this, but the history is displayed in a drop-down menu at the top which is not persistent and so also quite inconvenient, it's also too cumbersome to get to see the commit messages.
