- In C++, a base class like `Message` in `class DynamicMessage final : public Message` now links to the class C++ itself would pick: the one declared in the namespaces around the class, or brought in by the file's `using` declarations and namespace aliases, and the class a `typedef` or `using` alias names. Before, a base class was matched by its name alone, so it could land on a class of the same name in another namespace or another language: in protocolbuffers/protobuf, `DynamicMessage` derived from the JSON parser's internal `Message` class, and in google/leveldb and RocksDB, iterators derived from an unrelated nested `Iterator` class such as the skip list's. The wrong base showed up in `codegraph_explore`'s type hierarchy and in impact, and tied the base's methods to the wrong overrides. A template parameter used as a base no longer links to a class that shares its name, and a base written from the global scope, like `public ::testing::Test`, now links to its class. Re-index C++ projects after upgrading.
- In C and C++, a header or source file named like a test, such as protocolbuffers/protobuf's `conformance_test.h` and `test_runner.h`, now counts as part of the code that `#include`s it, directly or through other headers. Before, calls from that code into it were dropped, so protobuf's conformance suites' `suite_.ReportFailure(…)` and `RunValidInputTest(…)` calls, and its unit tests' calls to the shared `TestUtil` helpers, linked to nothing. A test file that only tests include is still kept out of reach of the rest of your code. Re-index C and C++ projects after upgrading.
- In C++, a class, struct or method now keeps the namespaces and the class it is declared in when the parser misreads something earlier in the file, such as an unknown macro in front of a member or in a class header. Before, everything after the misread code could lose them, or land inside a class it isn't in: in protocolbuffers/protobuf, `FieldDescriptor` was indexed without `google::protobuf::`, and in RocksDB, the `Opts` struct declared inside a cache table class was indexed outside it, so finding a class's base classes and the methods called on its objects fell back to guessing by name. Methods that had come loose from their class are its members again, and classes the misread code had hidden, like leveldb's POSIX file and environment classes, are now indexed. Re-index C++ projects after upgrading.
- In C++, a call on a variable, parameter or member declared as a standard-library or other outside type with a lowercase name, like `std::string`, `std::vector`, `std::set` or `absl::flat_hash_set`, no longer links to a project method that only shares the method's name, even one of a project class in another namespace with the type's name, like your own `util::flat_hash_set`. In google/leveldb, `saved_key_.clear()` on a `std::string saved_key_;` reached `Slice::clear`, and in protocolbuffers/protobuf, `proto.append(…)` on a `std::string` reached an unrelated `LeftoverBuffer::append`. The same goes for `->` through a raw pointer like `std::string* out`, while `->` through a smart pointer, iterator or optional still links to the type it holds. Comments also no longer pass for a variable's declaration, so more calls now link to the method of the type the variable is really declared with. Re-index C++ projects after upgrading.

A variable declared outside the calling function, like another function's or a file's `std::string text`, no longer links its calls to such a class either.

- In C++, a class written with attribute macros the parser can't read now keeps its members. That covers several macros between `class` and the class name, like protocolbuffers/protobuf's generated `class PROTOBUF_EXPORT PROTOBUF_FUTURE_ADD_EARLY_WARN_UNUSED Any final`, a macro with arguments there, like RocksDB's `struct ALIGN_AS(64U) HandleImpl`, or one before a template specialization, and macros on a member: in front of it (`PROTOBUF_FUTURE_ADD_EARLY_NODISCARD`), between a pointer and its name (`PROTOBUF_NONNULL`), after its parameters or its name (`ABSL_ATTRIBUTE_LIFETIME_BOUND`, google/leveldb's `LOCKS_EXCLUDED(mu_)` and `GUARDED_BY(mu_)`), or alone on a line above a comment ({fmt}'s `FMT_BEGIN_EXPORT`). Before, protobuf's generated message classes were missing and their members, like `GetDescriptor`, `GetReflection` and `unknown_fields`, were indexed as functions outside any class, and leveldb's annotated methods were indexed under the annotation's name, so calls to them linked to nothing. Re-index C++ projects after upgrading.
- In C++, a call on a range-based `for` loop's variable, like `suite->SetVerbose(verbose)` inside `for (ConformanceTestSuite *suite : suites)`, now links to the method of the type the loop declares. Before, the loop's declaration was never read, so the call was matched by the variable's name alone: in RocksDB, `log->file()` on a `log::Writer` went to `BlobLogWriter::file`, and a loop variable named like a member of its class was taken for that member. The variable counts only inside its loop. Re-index C++ projects after upgrading.
- In C++, a call made with `->` on a variable, parameter or member declared as a `std::unique_ptr`, `std::shared_ptr` or `std::optional`, like `iter->Valid()` on a `std::unique_ptr<Iterator> iter`, now links to that method of the type it holds, or of a class that type inherits from, with the type looked up the way C++ does it, so a class of the same name nested elsewhere is not mistaken for it. Before, the call went to whichever project method shared its name: in facebook/rocksdb, `iter->Valid()` reached `ArenaWrappedDBIter::Valid` and `fs->GetFileSize(…)` on a `std::shared_ptr<FileSystem>` reached a test's stand-in file system, and calls like `it->Next()` were often not linked at all. When what it holds is a template parameter or a standard-library type, like `std::unique_ptr<std::deque<…>>`, or a class that has no method of that name and neither do the classes it derives from, the call no longer links to a project method; a class derived from something that can't be followed, like a `decltype(…)`, may still have it, so that call is matched as before. Re-index C++ projects after upgrading.
- In C++, a call a method makes with no receiver, or through `this->`, now links to the method C++ itself would call: one of the method's own class, else one the class inherits from a base class, else one of a class it is nested in. The same goes for a call in a lambda inside the method, and of a class's overloads the one the call's arguments fit is taken. Before, the call was matched by its name alone, so another class's method of that name could win because it was declared nearer or found first: in protocolbuffers/protobuf, every generated message's `Swap` and move assignment calling `InternalSwap(…)` reached `Any::InternalSwap`, and the `GetArena()` messages inherit from `MessageLite` reached an arena helper's `GetArena`, while googletest's `~linked_ptr() { depart(); }`, vendored in facebook/rocksdb, reached `linked_ptr_internal::depart`. Calls C++ doesn't look up in the class are matched as before: a free function's, a call to a parameter or local of that name, and a template's bare call into a base class that depends on its template parameters. Re-index C++ projects after upgrading. Thanks @danusha2345 for reporting the C++ case in #1952.
- In C++, a call on the variable of a range-based `for` loop over `auto` elements, like `cfd->Ref()` inside facebook/rocksdb's `for (auto cfd : cfds)`, now links to the method of the type the loop goes over. That type is read from what the loop iterates: a `std::vector`, `std::set`, `absl::Span` or similar container, protocolbuffers/protobuf's `RepeatedPtrField` or RocksDB's `autovector`, whether a variable, parameter or member holds it, an `auto` variable is set to it or a function or method returns it, and a project class you loop over through its `begin()`, like RocksDB's `ColumnFamilySet`. Before, the call was matched by the variable's name, or by an earlier variable of that name: in RocksDB, `blob_file.GetBlobFileNumber()` over a list of `BlobFileGarbage` reached `BlobFileAddition::GetBlobFileNumber`, and in protobuf's Objective-C generator, calls over a list of `std::unique_ptr<MessageGenerator>` reached other generators' methods. A call on an element of a standard-library type, like `file.find(…)` over a `std::vector<std::string>`, no longer links to a project method, and `->` on an element held in a `std::unique_ptr` or `std::shared_ptr` reaches the type it holds. Re-index C++ projects after upgrading.
- In C++, a call on a variable, parameter or member declared as one of your classes, like `iter->Valid()` on an `Iterator* iter` or `it.Valid()` on a `const Iterator& it`, now links to that method of the class C++ itself would find for the type where the call is written, or of a class it inherits from. Before, the method was picked by the type's last name, so a class of the same name nested elsewhere could win: in facebook/rocksdb, calls on an `Iterator` reached `MemTableRep::Iterator`, which declares `Valid` and `Next` itself while the `Iterator` the code means inherits them, google/leveldb's reached `SkipList::Iterator`, and in protocolbuffers/protobuf the Java generator's `context->options()` reached the hpb generator's `Context` and `text_parser.Parse(…)` on a `TextFormat::Parser` reached the `.proto` parser. When that class and the classes it derives from have no method of that name, the call no longer links to an unrelated class's method that shares it, as protobuf's `field->full_name()` on a `FieldDescriptor*` did. A type is also found through a `using` declaration the file writes, like protobuf's `using google::protobuf::Descriptor;`, before a class of the same name declared at global scope elsewhere in the repository; this also applies to base classes and to the type a smart pointer holds.

A type written from the global scope, like `::upb::Arena& arena`, is looked up there, so a namespace's own `upb::Arena` is not taken for it, nor is an alias of that name the calling function declares. Re-index C++ projects after upgrading.
- In C++, text inside a string literal is no longer taken for a variable's declaration. That covers the C code protocolbuffers/protobuf's upb generator writes in a raw string (`R"cc( … upb_MiniTableField field = $field_init$; … )cc"`) and log messages like facebook/rocksdb's `"… in WriteBatch handler; …"`. Before, a later call like `field.ctype()` on the function's own `upb::FieldDefPtr field` parameter, or `handler->PutCF(…)` on a `WriteBatch::Handler* handler`, was matched against the type that text seemed to name, so it linked to nothing or to another class's method. Re-index C++ projects after upgrading.
- In C++, a call on an `auto` variable now links to the method of the class C++ finds for the type its initializer gives it, as a call on a variable declared with that type does. The type is read from a cast or smart pointer written out, like facebook/rocksdb's `auto iter = std::unique_ptr<Iterator>(…)` or `auto* mutex = static_cast<InstrumentedMutex*>(arg)`, from `new` or `std::make_unique` of a class, and from what a function or method is declared to return, like the `Iterator*` of `txn->GetIterator(…)`, read to the end of an initializer that goes on to the next line. Before, such a variable took the type of an earlier variable of the same name, or none: in RocksDB, `iter->SeekToFirst()` reached `MemTableRep::Iterator` and `mutex->Lock()` reached `port::Mutex`. A chained call like `cfd->current()->storage_info()` now looks up the class the inner call is declared to return the same way, through a smart pointer too, so protocolbuffers/protobuf's Java generator no longer reaches the C# generator's `EnumGenerator`. A type from outside the project no longer links to a class of the project that shares its name: protobuf's `status.ok()` on an `absl::Status` reached `upb::Status::ok`, and fmtlib/fmt's `os.flush()` on a `std::ostream&` reached fmt's own `ostream::flush`. The same holds for a variable declared in a macro body, or typed by what a function in another file returns, and for a class the index doesn't hold whose name only another class shares: protobuf's `_status.ok()` in its `RETURN_IF_ERROR` macro reached `upb::Status::ok`, and `range.options()` on its generated `DescriptorProto::ExtensionRange` reached `Descriptor::ExtensionRange::options`. A namespace a macro stands for is the project's under either name: facebook/rocksdb declares its classes in `namespace ROCKSDB_NAMESPACE` with `#define ROCKSDB_NAMESPACE rocksdb`, so `db->Put(…)` on a `rocksdb::DB*` links to RocksDB's own `DB::Put`. Re-index C++ projects after upgrading.
- 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.
