- In C++, a call on a data member of the calling method's class, like `versions_->GetColumnFamilySet()` in facebook/rocksdb's `db_impl_write.cc`, now links to the method of the member's type wherever the class is declared. Before, only the call's own file and the header of the same name were read for the member, and RocksDB declares `DBImpl` in `db_impl.h` while its methods are spread over `db_impl_write.cc`, `db_impl_compaction_flush.cc`, `db_impl_open.cc` and more, so such calls were guessed by the member's name. A member declared below an inline method that uses it, one a base class declares, and, in a gtest `TEST_F` or `TEST_P` body, one of the test's fixture, like RocksDB's `db_`, are found the same way, and a member of a class nested in the caller's class is no longer taken for the caller's own. A call on a member of a standard-library type, like `std::atomic<bool> shutting_down_`, no longer links to a project method that only shares the method's name. Re-index C++ projects after upgrading.
- In C++, a variable, parameter or member whose declaration puts a qualifier or an annotation around its name is now read for its type, so calls on it link to the declared class's methods: a `const` after the `*` or `&`, like facebook/rocksdb's `Iterator* const iter = iter_guard.get();` or google/leveldb's `Env* const env_;`, a type written before its `const`, like `Slice const& key`, a nullability annotation after the `*`, like protocolbuffers/protobuf's `io::EpsCopyOutputStream* PROTOBUF_NONNULL stream`, and a thread-safety annotation after the name, like LevelDB's `MemTable* imm_ GUARDED_BY(mutex_);`. Before, such a declaration was skipped, or the annotation was taken for its type, so the call took the type of an earlier variable of the same name or was guessed by the method's name: RocksDB's `iter->SeekToFirst()` reached the unrelated `ArenaWrappedDBIter`, and LevelDB's `env_->NewWritableFile(…)` reached `InMemoryEnv`. Re-index C++ projects after upgrading.
- In C++, a call on a name a structured binding declares now links to the method of the type C++ gives it. That covers a range-based `for` over pairs or a map, like facebook/rocksdb's `for (auto& [cfh, iter] : cfh_iter_pairs_) { iter->Valid(); }`, and a declaration like protocolbuffers/protobuf's `auto [dst_ext, is_new] = Insert(…);`. A call on what a `std::function` or another function wrapper returns, like `create_iterator()->Valid()` on a `std::function<Iterator*()>`, links the same way, and so does a call on a class member whose type is written on the line above its name. Before, these calls were guessed by the method's name, and calls on a library container declared that way, like a `std::priority_queue` member's `pop()`, reached a project class's method of that name. Re-index C++ projects after upgrading.
- In C++, a call written without a receiver in a gtest `TEST_F` or `TEST_P` body now links to the test fixture's method, its own or one it inherits, as C++ finds it: facebook/rocksdb's tests call `DBTestBase`'s `Put(…)`, `Flush()` and `NewIterator(…)` this way. A variable such a call initializes, like `auto iter = NewIterator(…)`, takes the type the method returns, so `iter->SeekToFirst()` reaches the iterator class. Before, those calls were guessed by name and often reached a namesake in another class, like RocksDB's `ColumnFamilyTestBase::Put` or protocolbuffers/protobuf's `EncodeDecodeTest::ExpectNoErrors`, and `iter->SeekToFirst()` reached the unrelated `MemTableRep::Iterator`. A `->` call on a value of a type from outside the project, like protobuf's `m->value()` on an `absl::StatusOr<Any>`, no longer links to a class of the project that shares the type's name, like protobuf's own `hpb::StatusOr`. Re-index C++ projects after upgrading.
- Framework support now switches on when an app's `package.json` sits three or more folders deep, as with an ASP.NET solution's Angular or React app in `src/Web/ClientApp/`, or a React app in a workspace folder like `web/ui/mantine-ui/`. Before, only the project root and the first two folder levels were read, so frameworks such as Angular, React Router, Vue Router, SvelteKit and TanStack Router could go undetected there: an Angular app's routes, its `routerLink` and `router.navigate(…)` navigation and its template's event bindings were missing, so a handler used only from a `(click)` binding had no callers, and a React app's `navigate('/login')` calls didn't reach their route. Re-index projects laid out this way after upgrading.
- In a repository that mixes languages, a web framework's naming conventions now link only code written in that framework's own languages. Before, Express's also linked Go and Python code: in etcd a Go method's `*zap.Logger` result type linked to the method itself, and in Harbor a Python `self.jaeger.validate()` call linked to another class's `validate`. Links that cross languages on purpose, like React Native and Expo native modules, Swift and Objective-C, Drupal's `routing.yml`, SvelteKit's `$lib/…` imports in `.ts` files and a Razor page's `@model`, are unchanged.
- In C and C++, a call written from the global scope, like `::leveldb::RepairDB(…)` or `::hpb::CreateMessage(…)`, now links to the function of exactly that name, and one through a namespace alias, like protobuf's `::_pbi::…` calls, to the function in the aliased namespace. Before, these calls were dropped unless the repository also held Swift and Objective-C files, and even then a name spelled out in full, like `::google::protobuf::internal::TSanWrite(…)`, linked to nothing, while `::operator delete(…)` linked to one class's own `operator delete`. A global call never links to a function or method of the same name inside a namespace or class, such as a wrapper `open()` that calls the C library's `::open(…)`, and `::std::…` and `::testing::…` calls stay unlinked unless that library's source is part of your project. Re-index C and C++ projects after upgrading.
